  1. Have you have taught writing in mathematics? Why or why not?
  2. What has been your greatest successes and challenges in teaching writing in mathematics to your students?
  3. What instructional approaches have consistently worked? What does still need to be expanded or developed?

  • Name some key takeaways you have learned in this module.
  • What opportunities and/or challenges you expect in incorporating this ideas of disciplinary literacy in your writing instruction?
  • How does your understanding of disciplinary literacy facilitate this task?
  • What additional steps should be taken?

Pay attention to the insights from the research on disciplinary literacy that you have just read. 
  • What do you notice?
  • Which academic language skills are specifically needed?
  • What are the implications for your writing instructional practice in mathematics?

Reflect:
  1. What insights have you gained from this article? What do you still wonder? 
  2. Look at the table that resumes the seven CALS dimensions. Examine each CALS dimension on the table. Then, think of a current student in your classroom... 
  • What cross-linguistic connections between Spanish and English CALS might you support this student to make?

  • In completing this activity, what presented difficulties for you or your group? What was easier? Why?
  • Part of being able to create sentences that are more complex requires learning about independent and dependent clauses and how to use subordinating conjunctions to combine them. How would you plan to introduce this knowledge in your writing instruction in mathematics?

  • Select one student’s writing to enhance by using one of the CALS domains you learned in this module. 
  • Reflect on the process by keeping in mind the following questions:
    • How did using the CALS domains facilitate this task?
    • What additional steps should be taken ?
  • Draft a three-sentence proposal for how you would plan to implement these modules’ information in your practice, noting what pieces of information you will highlight for your class.
