Ballroom B
In this session we will share some of the activities that we have used in our work with
Latina/o parents and discuss some findings from research on parental engagement in
!
mathematics. Our goals are: 1) to show how we can collaborate with parents in
Marta Civil
meaningful ways, as partners in the teaching and learning of mathematics; 2) to provide
practical suggestions to help bridge the home-school gap, particularly when working
with diverse students; and 3) to share what we have learned from listening to parents,
in particular in two areas—valorization of knowledge and language and mathematics.

Connecting the Mathematical Practices and
Academic Language for Els

How can mathematics teachers best meet the needs of linguistically diverse students
and English Learners? We will use two case studies to present a framework for
connecting the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice with principles for
teaching Academic Language in classes with English Learners. After a short
introduction to the framework, participants will have the opportunity to examine
mathematical tasks using a focus on fostering Academic Language and developing
Mathematical Practices with ELs.
