To help teachers better understand their students' difficulties with mathematics, this text approaches mathematics as a language and synthesizes current research about decoding that language. The authors offer advice about using guided discourse, graphic representations, student-centered learning and concept-building skills to help students develop math-literacy skills. The text is supplemented by real-life vignettes, examples and lists of resources. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
