The classes in which the Latina\/o students were enrolled used a reform-oriented approach to math learning; the math in these classes was--to varying degrees--taught using a hands-on, discovery approach to learning where group learning was valued, and discussions in and about math were critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents the stories of how six immigrant and American-born ELLs worked with their three teachers of varied ethnicity, education, experience with second language learners, and training in reform-oriented mathematics curricula to gain a degree of competence in the mathematical discourse they used in class. Identity, participation, situated learning, discourse use by learners of English as a Second Language (ESL), framing in language, and student success in mathematics are all critical notions that are highlighted within this school-based research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holly Hansen-Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607521482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607521488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Age Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.34d","brand":"Holly Hansen-Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445420699903,"sku":"9781607521488","price":55.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ebb8eb4-0fa0-4db2-ad43-9f7e87dee9a9.jpg?v=1777218477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-language-learners-and-math-holly-hansen-thomas-9781607521488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
