This resource focuses on essential variables impacting English Language Learners (ELLs) in their mathematics learning. Participants will enhance their knowledge of these variables, explore their implications on student achievement, and identify collaborative strategies between content and ESL staff to support ELL students. The structured activity encourages group discussions around a specific variable, allowing participants to analyze its effects and reach insights on best practices in mathematics education for ELLs. Engaging with research-based strategies aims to empower teachers in their instructional approaches.

What the Research Says:Variables That Impact ELLs’ Learning of Mathematics Maggie Rivas September 28, 2006
Objectives Participants will • increase their knowledge of variables that may possibly have an impact on ELLs’ learning of mathematics; • discover and understand variables that may impact student achievement in mathematics; and • identify ways content and ESL staff can assist ELL students in dealing with variables that may impede student achievement in mathematics.
Here’s What! So What? Now What?Instructions This activity will provide your group with a structure for increasing thinking about the different variables that impact ELLs in learning mathematics. It also provides structure for the group to take one variable and elaborate, extend, and explore it. Read the variable you have been assigned. Write the variable selected in the “What the Research Says” column. Write your group’s interpretations and perspectives in the “So What?” column. Discuss and generate predictions or implications for the “Now What?” column. You have 15 minutes to complete your worksheet.
