Introduction

Research on Mathematics and Literacy

Meeting Needs in Today’s Classrooms

More than ever before, there is a need to boost students’ understanding of mathematics in all grade levels. “We must expect all of our students to learn mathematics well beyond what we previously expected. We need all students to be more profi cient than in the past, and we need many more students to pursue careers based on mathematics and science” (Seeley 2005). Th ere is also great need for more eff ective instruction in reading comprehension using nonfi ction texts. In a study published in 2000 by Michigan State University education researcher Nell Duke, it was reported that fi rst graders were exposed to an average of 3.6 minutes of informational text per day. Students in low socioeconomic groups were exposed to less than two minutes of informational text per day (Collier 2006). Today’s world is focused on information. Th e advent of the Internet has put countless informational resources at our fi ngertips. Students will be ill equipped in the real world unless they are exposed to informational texts in school. Nonfi ction texts are also prevalent on high-stakes tests. “Reading nonfi ction materials would increase students’ depth of knowledge in the content areas, and probably help students score higher on the standardized tests that are of such concern to teachers and administrators” (Ivey and Broaddus 2000).

Current research by the National Council of Teachers of English shows that students have diffi culty learning when subjects are taught in isolation (NCTE 1993). “When language skills are embedded in meaningful contexts, they are easier and more enjoyable for children to learn. In the same way, numbers and their operations, when embedded in meaningful real-world contexts, give children the opportunity to make sense of mathematics and to gain mathematical power” (NCTM 2000).

Mathematics Readers is a mathematics-based reading program. It combines eff ective instruction in nonfi ction reading-comprehension strategies with standards-based mathematical content. Although literacy continues to be the primary focus in today’s schools, it is essential that teachers do not decrease instructional time spent in other crucial content areas. Th is program effi ciently integrates instruction in mathematics and reading comprehension with a collection of engaging readers that focuses on mathematical concepts. Nonfi ction writing assignments are also provided as extensions to what is being taught in the mathematics and reading lessons. Each reader is written around real-life situations that are applicable to the students. Th e readers include captivating photographs, interesting facts and captions, engaging questions, problem-solving scenarios, and leveled text. Nonfi ction features, such as tables of contents, glossaries, and indices, are also included. All of the readers are organized by mathematical content strands to give the students a base of vocabulary and understanding on which to build more comprehension.

Th e teacher’s guide off ers lesson plans and teaching suggestions for both the reading and mathematics components. As a result, the teachers are able to engage students, address diff erent learning styles, and develop student understanding that leads to higher-level thinking. Th is program will support teachers’ eff ective mathematics instruction while boosting general reading skills.

Materials

• index cards

• manipulatives (e.g., chips, blocks, cubes)

• small pieces of writing paper for writing math equations

Introduction to Mathematics

Vocabulary

1. Choose an even number of manipulatives to distribute to each student or each pair of students.

2. Ask students to count the number of manipulatives they have and share it with the group. Explain to students that to contar (count) means to add things up to see how many there are.

3. Divide your own amount of manipulatives into two groups. Ask students to do the same with their manipulatives. Explain to students that these are now two conjuntos (sets). Tell them that a set is a group of things.

4. Count the number of manipulatives in each set. Then tell students that in order to figure out how much these sets make together, they need to add two numbers. Explain that to sumar (add) means to figure out the total of two or more numbers. A total (total) is the sum of two or more amounts added together.

5. Have students gather their manipulatives together. Explain that this means that they will coleccionar (collect) their manipulatives. Challenge students to use their manipulatives to create a math problem to resolver (solve). This means that they will have to find out the answer to a math problem. Have students share their math problems and solutions in pairs or in small groups.

6. Distribute small pieces of paper for students to record their math problems on.

Vocabulary

• coleccionar—juntar objetos

• conjuntos—grupos de cosas

• contar—sumar uno por uno para hallar la cantidad total de un conjunto

• resolver—elaborar la solución a un problema de matemáticas

• sumar—unión de dos o más números para obtener un número que se llama total

• total—la suma de dos o más cantidades

Differentiation

Prior to the vocabulary lesson, review counting with below-grade-level students. Make sure that students know numbers in the correct order. Help students use index cards to create a few counting cards that show numbers and matching pictures. Th ese cards should refl ect your students’ current mathematical understanding and may range from numbers 1 to 10 to something more complex such as multiples of 10 up to 100.

Contemos las velas

Summary

A word problem requires students to use their counting skills to find an answer. They represent numbers using sets of tally marks and then count those sets to determine a total. Students must also practice counting by 5s.

Problem-Solving Steps

1. Discuss why a specific number of candles is placed on a birthday cake. What does this number signify? Tell students that in order to make sure that the correct number of candles is on a cake, a person must count correctly.

2. Display the Contemos las velas transparency. Explain to students that a family is celebrating two birthdays with one cake. They must determine how many candles to put on the cake to represent both birthdays.

3. Direct students to read the problem silently while you read it aloud.

4. Explain to students that they must figure out the correct total number of candles. Have them work in groups to answer the ¡Resuélvelo! questions. Students should record their answers for the ¡Resuélvelo! questions on their Contemos los cumpleaños activity sheet (page 54).

5. Discuss the activity sheet once every group has had an opportunity to solve all of the problems. Have student groups talk about why counting by 5s was a smart strategy for this word problem.

Assessment Strategies

Assessment is an integral, important part of this unit of study. You can gain insight into students’ learning through written pre-tests, small-group observations, analysis of written assignments, the diagnostic test, and a culminating activity. Th ese frequent formal and informal assessments provide you with the data needed to make informed decisions about what to teach and how to teach it. Th is is the best way for you to know who is struggling with various concepts and how to address the diffi culties that students are experiencing with the curriculum.

Th ere are several points throughout each lesson where useful evaluations can be made. Depending on the results, you can decide if you should continue with the lesson as planned or change gears to reteach or reinforce concepts.

Celebremos los 100 días and¡Es hora de festejar! (cont.)

Materials

• index cards

• manipulatives (e.g., chips, blocks, cubes)

• small pieces of writing paper for writing math equations

Introduction to Mathematics

Vocabulary

1. Choose an even number of manipulatives to distribute to each student or each pair of students.

2. Ask students to count the number of manipulatives they have and share it with the group. Explain to students that contar (to count) means to add things up to see how many there are.

3. Divide your own amount of manipulatives into two groups. Ask students to do the same with their manipulatives. Explain to students that these are now two conjuntos (sets). Tell them that a set is a group of things.

4. Count the number of manipulatives in each set. Then tell students that in order to figure out how much these sets make together, they need to add two numbers. Explain that sumar (to add) means to figure out the total of two or more numbers. A total (total) is the sum of two or more amounts added together.

5. Have students gather their manipulatives together. Explain that this means that they will coleccionar (collect) their manipulatives. Challenge students to use their manipulatives to create a math problem to resolver (solve). This means that they will have to find out the answer to a math problem. Have students share their math problems and solutions in pairs or in small groups.

6. Distribute small pieces of paper for students to record their math problems on.

Vocabulary

• coleccionar—juntar objetos

• conjuntos—grupos de cosas

• contar—sumar uno por uno para hallar la cantidad total de un conjunto

• resolver—elaborar la solución a un problema de matemáticas

• sumar—unión de dos o más números para obtener un número que se llama total

• total—la suma de dos o más cantidades

Differentiation

Prior to the vocabulary lesson, review counting with below-grade-level students. Make sure that students know numbers in the correct order. Help students use index cards to create a few counting cards that show numbers and matching pictures. Th ese cards should refl ect your students’ current mathematical understanding and may range from numbers 1 to 10 to something more complex such as multiples of 10 up to 100.

Using the Readers

Before Reading

1. Complete the Introduction to Mathematics Vocabulary activity (page 34) with the whole class. Then, divide your students into ability-based reading groups. This book is written for students at or above a first-grade reading level.

2. Reading Activity—Distribute the Celebremos los 100 días readers to students. Have students preview the reader, skimming over the pages and looking at the pictures, headings, and charts. Ask students to consider what connections they can make from the text to their own experiences and background knowledge.

3. Writing Activity—Ask students to share familiar words or phrases that they recognize from school, home, or some other context. Make a list of these recognizable words on a piece of chart paper. Save the list for later use in the lesson.

4. Mathematics Activity—Ask students to think about what they know about the number 100. This might include objects that come in a set of 100, ways to count to 100, or numbers that add up to 100.

Summary

A word problem requires students to use their counting skills to find an answer. They represent numbers using sets of tally marks and then count those sets to determine a total. Students must also practice counting by 5s.

Problem-Solving Steps

1. Discuss why a specific number of candles is placed on a birthday cake. What does this number signify? Tell students that in order to make sure that the correct number of candles is on a cake, a person must count correctly.

2. Display the Contemos las velas transparency. Explain to students that a family is celebrating two birthdays with one cake. They must determine how many candles to put on the cake to represent both birthdays.

3. Direct students to read the problem silently while you read it aloud.

4. Explain to students that they must figure out the correct total number of candles. Have them work in groups to answer the ¡Resuélvelo! questions. Students should record their answers for the ¡Resuélvelo! questions on their Contemos los cumpleaños activity sheet (page 54).

5. Discuss the activity sheet once every group has had an opportunity to solve all of the problems. Have student groups talk about why counting by 5s was a smart strategy for this word problem.
