https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6 How can I apply a translanguaging lens to a 4th grade math block? en-us 2022-11-27 18:10:58 UTC 2025-04-17 09:12:10 UTC hello@padlet.com katiehaislett https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2399233066 "Monolingual content assessments of multilingual students remarkably fail their most essential endeavor—to provide meaningful information about their content proficiency."]]> 2022-11-27 18:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2399233066 katiehaislett https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2400610908 There have been countless times where I have seen multiple students making sense of a math problem together while translanguaging. They are asking, "y eso, es ten thousand o hundred thousand?" And another replies, "mira, hay cinco ceros, so es one hundred thousand" Other times students read aloud together a word problem, and then translanguage together to make sense of what it is asking. These moments of translanguaging are not happening because my CT has said, "please use any language that helps you make sense of these problems," but rather because the students know intuitively to do that on their own. I am interested in learning how I can bring this practice into more of the math work we do. How can translanguaging work with assessments? How will it work in whole class discussions of math problems? In general I am interested in learning how math can be much more discussion based, and along with this I want to learn how students can be free to discuss using their entire linguistic repertories. ]]> 2022-11-28 17:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2400610908 katiehaislett https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2400618469 1.1 Apply knowledge of students, including their prior experiences, interests, and social-emotional learning needs, as well as their funds of knowledge and cultural, language, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to engage them in learning.

1.6 Provide a supportive learning environment for students' first and/or second language acquisition by using research-based instructional approaches, including focused English Language Development, Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE), scaffolding across content areas, and structured English immersion, and demonstrate an understanding of the difference among students whose only instructional need is to acquire Standard English proficiency, students who may have an identified disability affecting their ability to acquire Standard English proficiency, and students who may have both a need to acquire Standard English proficiency and an identified disability.

3.5 Adapt subject matter curriculum, organization, and planning to support the acquisition and use of academic language within learning activities to promote the subject matter knowledge of all students, including the full range of English learners, Standard English learners, students with disabilities, and students with other learning needs in the least restrictive environment.

To write the question only in English or only in Spanish, ignores the fact that language is dynamic and there are some words students are more familiar with in one named language and vice versa. 
This also ensures the language is not simplified or expecations are lowered. This maintains the same level of rigor, but opens the doors to the entire linguistic repertoire. 
Of the translanguaging supports provided in this study, these "language tabs" were used most frequently. ]]> 2022-12-03 18:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2407628095 katiehaislett https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2407635767 In the study by Alexis A. Lopez, Danielle Guzman-Orth and Sultan Turkan (2019) One translanguaging option was to hover over a word and see synonyms. One student used this feature for the question above, when he did not understand the word "el recuadro". When he hovered over the word, the synonyms "el rectángulo, la caja, el cuadro" appeared. Following this the student understood what the question was asking him, whereas before, when "el recuadro" was used, he did not. ]]> 2022-12-03 18:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2407635767 katiehaislett https://padlet.com/katiehaislett/set7ehzv6jff2gf6/wish/2407651842 Celic and Seltzer have put together this incredible resources for ways translanguaging can live in the classroom.
