The newly adopted California Math Framework states that "Language needed for disciplinary thinking and concepts should not be taught in isolation, but in the context of what students relate to and need to know to access and communicate mathematical thinking."

This session will answer the questions:

• How do we understand the simultaneous development of math content, math practices, and language development?
• What do language goals in instructional materials  look like?
• How can materials describe how students will bridge between everyday and mathematical ways of communicating?
