Math   Location: IAKSS | Students may struggle with expressing their ideas or linking related thoughts verbally. Sentence stems/starters is an instructional technique that helps students effectively communicate by offering students the opportunity to answer questions in the form of a complete sentence. Sentence stems help students get started sharing their ideas through speaking or writing while relieving the pressure of thinking about how to form a thought. Sentence stems can be used when students are: engaging in a math discussion with a peer. practicing the use of academic language. sharing their thoughts on how to solve a particular problem. reflecting on a math concept recently learned. It is not enough to introduce sentence stems one time and expect students to use them without prompting. Teachers must consistently encourage students to refer to their resource when necessary. Start by introducing just a few sentence stems to your students. Good luck!! Attachments ----------------  Sentence Stems for Math.pdf (234KB - 46 downloads) | ||
