Book Integrating Math and Language Arts in the Classroom

Download or read book Integrating Math and Language Arts in the Classroom written by Tamber Hepner and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary American elementary classroom is comprised of a more diverse student population than has ever been seen before. The strong emphasis of mastery in language arts and mathematics at the elementary level as outlined by the no Child Left Behind Act, causes enough stress for students whose primary language is English (native English speakers), let alone those English language learners (ELL) who require extra instruction to "catch up" to their native speaking counterparts. For teachers, the task of getting their students to reach their expected potential is getting more difficult as blocks of instruction decrease, class sizes increase, and the demands of performance based education prevail. This study intended to look at the use of the language arts practice of journaling for math instruction and its effect on academic performance in both language arts and math. Solving math word problems and writing skills were specifically assessed. A five-week intervention of math journaling was implemented in a third grade classroom. Twenty two students were divided into a control and an experimental group based on academic achievement and language status (English language learner (ELL) or native English speaker) per student records. The experimental group was given math journaling time three to four times a week for five weeks for 20 minutes to write about a prompted math concept with the researcher while the control group practiced and reviewed already taught concepts with the classroom teacher. Results showed there was a statistically significant difference in academic performance between groups in both word problem solving and writing skills with the experimental group using mathematics writing journals scoring higher in both.

Book The Impact of an Integrated Math and Science Curriculum on Third Grade Students Measurement Achievement

Download or read book The Impact of an Integrated Math and Science Curriculum on Third Grade Students Measurement Achievement written by Karen H. Adamson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a hands-on science curriculum, which integrates mathematics and supports the development of English language skills, on third grade students2 mathematics achievement - specifically the measurement subscale of the statewide assessment. The data draws from a larger 5-year research project consisting of reform-based science curriculum units and teacher workshops designed to promote effective instruction of science while integrating mathematics and supporting English language development. The third grade curriculum places a strong emphasis on developing measurement skills in the context of scientific investigations. Third grade students2 performance on the measurement subscale of the statewide mathematics assessment at experimental and comparison schools were examined using a hierarchical linear model (HLM). Students participating in the treatment performed significantly higher than students at comparison schools. The results of this study provide evidence that an integrated approach to math and science instruction can benefit diverse populations of students.

Book The Impact Journal Writing Has on Achievement in Mathematics

Download or read book The Impact Journal Writing Has on Achievement in Mathematics written by Dianne Susan Patterson and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focused on the impact journal writing had on achievement in mathematics. It was designed to determine if instructed based and writing in journals would improve achievement in mathematics. The subjects under investigation were 77 third graders enrolled in a rural elementary school in southeastern Ohio. One of the four classrooms in which the study was conducted was a self-contained classroom. The other three classrooms were departmentalized Mathematics classrooms. To measure gains in achievement in mathematics a pretest, posttest, and nonequivalent control group test was administered. An independent sample t-test of difference of means was used in this pretest, posttest, nonequivalent control group design. Results were obtained using the Crunch Statistical Package. It was concluded in the statistical analysis that instructed based and journal writing did not improve achievement in mathematics. Given a larger period of time, statistical information may have shown some gains for students who respond to instructed based and journal writing.

Book Intensifying Mathematics Interventions for Struggling Students

Download or read book Intensifying Mathematics Interventions for Struggling Students written by Diane Pedrotty Bryant and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, Intensive Mathematics Interventions, provides a thorough background knowledge about mathematics difficulties across the grade span. Even more valuable to educators-this book provides user friendly guidance on how to address all of the elements of mathematics difficulties from preschool to secondary grades. Each topic provides clear guidance to support decision making about intensive instruction including examples, ideas, practices, and suggestions. You will learn about the characteristics of students with math difficulties, how to use date to progress monitor them, how to intensify interventions, specific evidence-based practices for addressing early numeracy, time and money, whole numbers, rational numbers, word problem solving strategies, algebra and even technology"--

Filling a gap for school practitioners, this book presents step-by-step guidelines for designing and implementing classwide, small-group, and individual interventions for mathematics difficulties. Effective procedures for screening, assessment, intervention selection, and progress monitoring are described and illustrated with detailed case vignettes. User-friendly features include 20 reproducible handouts and forms; the print book has a large-size format with lay-flat binding for easy photocopying. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman.

Book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement

Download or read book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.
