Reading Counts: Expanding the Role of Reading in Mathematics Classrooms (Ways of Knowing in Science Series)

This artful volume extends beyond the traditional concern for reading word problems and math textbooks to consider how reading can support inquiry-oriented mathematics instruction. Three perspectives on reading are presented, each of which highlights a different way that reading can enhance mathematics learning. Detailed narratives of classroom experiences illustrate these perspectives and show the range of strategies teachers can use to enrich students' understanding of mathematical concepts.
