But this kind of conceptual thinking seems more difficult in math than in language arts and social studies. Fortunately we now know how to help kids understand more about mathematics than ever before, and in \u003ci\u003eComprehending Math\u003c\/i\u003e youll find out that much of maths conceptual difficulty can be alleviated by adapting what we have learned from research on language and cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eComprehending Math\u003c\/i\u003e Arthur Hyde (coauthor of the popular \u003ci\u003eBest Practice\u003c\/i\u003e) shows you how to adapt some of your favorite and most effective reading comprehension strategies to help your students with important mathematical concepts. Emphasizing problem solving, Hyde and his colleagues demonstrate how to build into your practice math-based variations of: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eKWL\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003evisualizing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003easking questions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einferring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epredicting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emaking connections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermining importance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esynthesizing \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe then presents a practical way to \"braid\" together reading comprehension, math problemsolving, and thinking to improve math teaching and learning.
