Mathematics Text Literacy
Mathematics textbooks have fewer words per page than social studies text, so you can read them more quickly.
You need to use different reading skills when you read your math textbook than the skills you use to read textbooks in other classes

Mathematics Text LiteracyUsually, you can skim over or skip most worded passages in math textbooks because the diagram, graphs, number lines, and symbols contain the most important information on the pageThe words in a mathematics text may not have the same meaning in another subject area textbookMathematics is the most difficult content area for most students to read.

How is Reading Mathematics Different?
Reading mathematics is not always from left to right
Mathematics texts contains more concepts per word, per sentence, and per paragraph than other text
Writers of mathematics texts generally write in a very terse or compact style
![Page 6: 1 Reading Mathematics Paul E. Smith. 2 Agenda The Unique Aspects of Reading Text Comprehension Strategies Vocabulary Strategies.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2b5503460f94b19079/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

How is Reading Mathematics Different?
Mathematics also requires students to be proficient at decoding not only words but also numeric and nonnumeric symbols
Many mathematics textbooks are written above the grade level for which they are intended
![Page 7: 1 Reading Mathematics Paul E. Smith. 2 Agenda The Unique Aspects of Reading Text Comprehension Strategies Vocabulary Strategies.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2b5503460f94b19079/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Reading Mathematics Require
Decoding and comprehending what is readPlanning for and monitoring the effectiveness of one’s readingAnalyzing and evaluating the content in light of one’s prior knowledge, experiences and schemataMaking inferences and generating conclusions based on the reader’s unique interpretation of what is read

Vocabulary
Certain concepts in mathematics are embedded within other concepts to be defined and understood.Three categories of math words Words that have the same meaning in
Mathematical English (ME) and Ordinary English (OE)
Words that have meaning only in ME Words that have different meanings in ME and in
OE

Research conducted in the past ten years reveals that vocabulary knowledge is the single most important factor contributing to reading comprehension.

“Drill and practice methods, which involve multiple repetitions if the same type of information about a target word using only associative processing, did not appear to have reliable effects on comprehension”

1. Students must encounter words in context more than once to learn them
2. Instruction in new words enhances learning those words in context
3. One of the best ways to learn a new word is to associate an image with it
4. Direct instruction on words that are critical to new content procedures the most powerful learning

It is a parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is Base X Height
The base can also be at the top
Height is up and down
The base = 16 in.
The height = 9 in.
10 in. is neither the base or the height, it is the length of a side
Find the area of the parallelogram
16 X 9 = 144 inches2

Jason has 8 plants
Each plant needs ¼ cup of food
Jason has bags containing 1 ½ cup of food
Describe the approach to determine that he does not have enough plant food
8 X ¼ = 2 cups
2 cups is less than 1 1/2
I check for reasonableness of answer
Or I could draw a picture
