Do you teach math to Spanish-Speaking ELLs (especially K-8)? If so, Math for ELLs is for you. There is a myth that “math is math” and there is no language involved; yet ELLs are not doing well in this subject. About three quarters of ELLs speak Spanish at home--this book focuses on these students. Make math come alive for Spanish-speaking ELLs. You will grasp the strategies as easy as “uno, dos, tres!”

While the number of English language learners (ELLs) enrolled in American schools has grown exponentially over the past several decades, schools' ability to serve them has not always kept pace. With Math for ELLs Ewing (Stephen F. Austin State Univ.) has created a primer that will help classroom practitioners and those involved in teacher education understand and meet the needs of ELLs in the classroom. The book begins with an introduction explaining the needs and characteristics of ELLs; subsequent chapters deal with relevant topics, including fostering a positive math mindset, providing access to content, developing language, engaging ELLs in productive struggle, assessment, and putting all these components together. There is a collection of appendixes at the end of the work that provide concrete and practical ways to better serve ELLs, building on the study's integration of theory and practice. . . this book is invaluable to both pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as those studying bilingual education and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
