Writing Prompts on Mathematics Exams to
Promote Universal Design

6-12,
College
Grande
Ballroom B
Some students have correct mathematical conceptual understanding, but make errors that lead to incorrect
responses on exams. By asking students to explain their understanding through writing, the instructor can
better determine what students know. This method is particularly effective in learning about struggling
students, including evidence that learning occurs during test taking.

Three Reads: A Strategy for Supporting English
Learners in Accessing and Making Sense of
Language-Rich Rigorous Tasks
Jennifer Yacoubian
General
Grande
Ballroom F
Participants will engage as learners in the Three Reads Protocol to support their own access to and
engagement in a language-rich rigorous mathematical task. The Three Reads is a mathematics and language
comprehension strategy designed to deepen students’ understanding of both the situation and the
mathematics and make sense of a problem before setting out to solve it, delaying the rush to an answer. We
will discuss implications for all students, in particular our English Learners, and make connections to the
Mathematical Practices in the CCSS.
