Implementing Mathematical Language Routines in the Classroom

K-12 mathematics classrooms often rely on rules that expire and tricks that lack meaning or connection. Although well-intentioned, these approaches create a fragile mathematical foundation for students that eventually collapses. Instead of simplifying math instruction with shortcuts and mnemonics, implement routines that enhance deep mathematical understanding. In this two-day workshop, participants will learn eight mathematical language routines that can be immediately applied in the classroom.

Mathematical Language Routines support high-quality instruction for all learners, including English Language Learners and Special Education students. These versatile routines are featured in leading mathematics resources and can be integrated into any curriculum.

Mathematical Language Routines also incorporate literacy into the math classroom!

Participants can earn one graduate-level credit by attending this workshop and completing a brief reflection. Additionally, attendees may receive up to three graduate credit hours for attending and applying the workshop's content to their classroom or school setting.
