HOMEWORK AND PRACTICE

Classroom Example

Subject: Math

Content Objective: To add and substract using pictures or stories.

Ms. Chasse’s 1st grade students were excited about learning their addition and subtraction math facts, but she didn’t want them to simply memorize the numbers. Ms. Chasse knew that a strong conceptual understanding of the processes of addition and subtraction would help her students as they progressed to more difficult math problems. Each time they went over a new “fact family,” she reviewed what “adding” meant and what “subtracting” meant. Students worked with manipulatives and drew pictures to represent what was happening with the numbers as they performed the processes.

Students practiced their math facts for homework that night. The next day in class as they reviewed, Ms. Chasse called on students to tell a story that explained the fact.

Preproduction

Students can draw or find pictures to represent their math facts. Instead of telling a story that explains their math facts to the class, you can ask for them to respond nonverbally: “Show me one strawberry plus one strawberry equals two strawberries.” This will help their word selection and vocabulary development because they are associating the spoken word with an image or a number word with their own drawing.

Early Production

Students can also share a pictorial representation of a story about their math facts. To help with their explanations, you can prompt them with yes/no questions or questions that require a one- or two-word response. Because their responses to your prompts will be limited, model English for them by telling them what you see in the picture using present tense verbs as you point to the pictures: “I see two strawberries. You eat one. Now there is only one left.”

Speech Emergence

Students can tell a short story with simple sentences about their math facts. To help expand their English, you can prompt by asking “why” and “how” questions. Expand whatever they are telling in their stories with an additional adjective or phrase. If the student says, “Here is a man buying two apples,” you can say, “Yes, I see a man buying two apples at the store,” or “Yes, I see a man buying two red apples.”

Intermediate and Advanced Fluency

Students can tell a story about their math facts with native-like fluency. Help them sound more like a book and use academic language by probing with statements such as, “Tell your story as if you were the teacher.”
