Leveraging Language in Math: Scaffolds, Visuals, and Translanguaging

Leveraging Language in Math: Scaffolds, Visuals, and Translanguaging

During this webinar we will…

• Engineer Word Problems for Accessibility: Learn how to rewrite, chunk, and modify dense math text to reduce linguistic barriers while keeping mathematical rigor high.

• Anchor Concepts with Targeted Visuals: Discover how to directly pair images, diagrams, and visual representations with key vocabulary and problem contexts to build deep conceptual understanding. 

• Capitalize on Multilingual Assets: Apply strategic translanguaging practices that integrate students’ home languages as powerful tools for mathematical reasoning and communication. 

Target Audience: K-12 multilingual educators
