Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing

Reminder

Math Vocabulary Algebra I

Coordinate plane axes origin x- axis y- axis Ordered pair x-coordinate y-coordinate quadrant input

output Relation domain range function Independent

variable dependent variable Function rule Function notation

Table TalkHow exactly would you expect to see this vocabulary developed in your Math classes with ELLs?

1. assign variables to the different changing quantities and accurately identify as independent and dependent

2. collect data and create a graph, table, and/or mapping diagram that accurately represents the data (ELPS 5G- ‐Writing)

3. deconstruct a graph into sections and identify what is happening in each section (ELPS 3D- ‐Speaking)

4. determine the correlation between two variables, if any 5. verbally describe the domain and range for a continuous or

discrete function (ELPS 3B- ‐Speaking) 6. write an expression or equation that correctly relates

the variables in the problem situation 7. interpret data in graphs, tables, and problem situations to

solve problems and make predictions

Exactly how can we support ELLS?

Ongoing assessment / development of oral proficiency and literacy to plan effective instruction and intervention

Second language acquisition development Intervention is essential - every ELL is different
