Using What Works: Strategies for Developing a Literary-Rich Environment in Math (K–12) is a close look at how strategies that have been successful in language arts can be reimagined and used within a mathematics environment to support students’ achievement in math. This book shows how a holistic approach to instruction and learning, focused on developing literacy skills across subject areas, can benefit both students and teachers — and change the culture of a mathematics classroom.
