Bilingual math skills for language learners

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Barbara Mascareno

Bilingual math skills usually might indicate learning of numbers. Of course, your students will learn numbers in a math class.

However, learning bilingual math is beyond teaching them to count. Especially for bilingual learners, the way your students acquire language is just as important as learning math.

While there are many instructional methods to teach bilingual math, your students grasp math concepts in one language more than another. So, implementing a teaching strategy might require multiple ways to use bilingual math skills.

Practicing fine motor skills is an essential part of education. Regardless of language skills, your students need to practice fine motor skills to succeed in other areas.

Many of those learning tasks require that students master how to hold writing tools, scissors, and be self-sufficient. Creating bilingual activities for ELL or dual-language learners is also crucial for self-advocacy.

While practicing fine motor skills, bilingual learners will also be able to use manipulatives during math lessons.

How can you create fine motor skills activities for your bilingual learners?

Bilingual math holiday worksheets can bring plenty of fun. While many classrooms celebrate a soon-to-be winter break or a classroom activity, you’ll be prepared with fun math activities.

Mainly when the days before winter break occur, most students will lack the enthusiasm to learn. Engage students’ learning with interactive games or printables to continue learning.

Math apps for kids are easy to find on your personal device. Whether you use your cell phone, tablet, or computer desktop, there’s more likely a math app for kids.

Application to interactive games has revolutionized how children learn math. After all, these apps have supported children, especially ELL students, in learning new math skills.

Although not necessarily a counterproductive learning tool, many apps now appear everywhere. But, what are the criteria to decide what a valuable math app is for learning?

Measuring activities for preschoolers

Posted on September 8, 2020 by Barbara Mascareno

Measuring activities for preschoolers might not be an easy concept to teach. You can represent the idea of measurement when you talk about how long or short items are.

However, when preschoolers encounter other objects in everyday life, the concept of measuring might not be apparent.

Of course, when you use simple items like flowers, toys, food, or other natural objects, preschoolers would engage with measuring in one way or another.
