Unlock the power of language in your math classroom! This interactive professional learning session explores how speaking and listening—the often-overlooked pillars of literacy—fuel mathematical thinking and understanding. Participants will experience strategies that help students talk their way into deeper reasoning, actively listen to peers’ problem-solving approaches, and use academic language to construct and defend mathematical ideas.

Through hands-on, collaborative activities, you’ll learn how to design math tasks that build both conceptual understanding and communication skills, ensuring every student has a voice in the learning process. Leave with ready-to-use strategies, discussion structures, and classroom tools that make mathematical discourse a natural and powerful part of daily instruction.

Transform your math lessons into language-rich learning experiences where all students can speak, listen, and reason their way to success.
