Using Content-area and Disciplinary Literacy Practices to
Build Procedural Fluency

This presentation is an opportunity for teachers to review the basics of content-area literacy
and disciplinary literacy practices. Presenters will bridge the gap between CAL and DL with an
emphasis on procedural fluency. How do CAL and DL differ in math? How can teachers
seamlessly segue from one to the other to maximize learning? Is DL strictly for the
academically advanced? Participants will learn, and then discuss, various ways they have
explored what disciplinary literacy entails in their mathematics classroom for students to
engage in doing mathematics like experts in the field of mathematics. Join Dr. Kavin Ming and
Charlene Aldrich, Literacy in the Discipline, 6-12 board members, as they lead the group in
sharing strategies and practices that encourage teachers to teach toward the highest level of
learning – disciplinary literacy.
Interest Level: Grades 6 - 12

Discussion, Problem Solving, and Homework in an Intro

to Proofs Course

We will discuss our year-long study into implementing class discussion and online homework
to facilitate the development of problem-solving strategies in an introduction to proofs course.
We believe that our findings could be beneficial to students in a range of settings throughout
the mathematics curriculum.
