About this title

Synopsis

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. Drawing on findings of a collaborative action research project, 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 texts, strategies, and reading practices teachers can use to enrich students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Educators who care about broadening students’ conceptions of mathematics will love the innovative ideas presented in Reading Counts.
