Many students who struggle with literacy also struggle with math.
Understanding the number system requires engaging linguistic, cognitive, executive functions and conceptual understanding -- just like literacy.
Meaning is as important to math learning as it does in literacy.
Math that is taught as a series of isolated procedures, facts and “islands of knowledge” disconnected from meaning will make little sense - just as it does with reading.
Math makes sense when students learn the structure of math, including its syntax and vocabulary, and approach it as a coherent system. This also diminishes math anxiety.
