R&D: Closing the math achievement gap for English Language Learners: Technology resources for pre-algebra

该项目旨在解决英语不熟练的学生数学成绩相对较差的问题。它包括研究英语语言学习者如何在开始代数类解决数学应用题与不同的文本特征。 这项研究的结果通知技术为基础的资源，以支持英语学习者的发展？通过英语教学学习数学的能力，包括数学词汇教程和从文字问题文本中形成方程的交互式帮助。 RAND教育作为形成性和总结性活动的评估者，由数学教育和英语学习者教育专家咨询委员会指导。

The project addresses the relatively poor mathematics achievement of students who are not proficient in English. It includes research on how English Language Learners in beginning algebra classes solve math word problems with different text characteristics. The results of this research inform the development of technology-based resources to support English Language Learners? ability to learn mathematics through instruction in English, including tutorials in math vocabulary and interactive assistance with forming equations from word problem text. RAND-Education serves as the evaluator for formative and summative activities, guided by an advisory board of experts in mathematics education and English Learner education.
