Description of Presentation:
English learners face both linguistic and mathematical challenges and bring resources for learning new mathematical concepts. We incorporate research on ELs in mathematics to construct a modified hypothetical learning trajectory (Simon 1995) in the area of linear functions that accounts for both content learning objectives and the linguistic/discourse demands of school mathematics.
Session Type: Poster Session
