Summary: Reading strategies that are specifically designed for attacking math application problems will be shared.  Students not only need to read words, but tables, graphs, charts and a variety of pictures as well.  We will explore how specific language arts and reading strategies may be adapted for use in the mathematics classroom.  We will use math examples throughout the day!
