Abstract
This study examines teacher identified relationships between Reading and Mathematics and how the relationship impacts mathematics instruction. Researchers will examine the role of reading in the mathematics instruction and methods used to accommodate low-level readers in classes with reading integrated into the math instruction.
This qualitative research is in the data collection phase. Examining the approaches of in-service teachers incorporating reading into mathematics instruction is essential in developing a framework for pre-service teachers preparing for the mathematics classroom. Understanding the role of reading in mathematics can provide alternatives for teachers working with low-level readers by working within the constructivist theoretical framework to add new layers to student learning in the math classroom
