Project STAIR- Supporting Teaching of Algebra: Individual Readiness & Videos: Teaching with Mathematical Language and How to Interpret Progress Monitoring

Description:

Most people don't realize it, but the words that we use to teach a concept have a huge impact upon students learning. Math is an especially tricky area where teachers must be precise and use the right word or they could confuse their students. Sarah Powell examines both the challenges of using proper mathematical language as well as strategies and examples to help teachers use precise and specific language to help students learn math.

These videos part of Project STAIR, an online resource for math teachers and parents who want to help their students learn.
