C2.4 Use of Math Language Routines (MLRs)

Teachers facilitate suggested math language routines consistent with the intended goal. (MLR1: Stronger and Clearer Each Time; MLR2: Collect and Display; MLR3: Clarify, Critique, Correct; MLR4: Info Gap; MLR5: Co-Craft Questions; MLR6: Three Reads; MLR7: Compare and Connect; MLR8: Discussion Supports).

Integrating

The teacher facilitates the MLR consistent with the intended goal.

The teacher adapts the MLR in response to students’ evolving understanding and stage of language development while maintaining access to grade-level mathematics.

The teacher strategically embeds relevant MLRs into the lesson as needed.

Implementing

The teacher facilitates the MLR consistent with the intended goal.

The teacher may adapt the MLR in response to students’ evolving understanding and stage of language development while maintaining access to grade-level mathematics.

Progressing

The teacher uses the MLR, but makes modifications that impact access, reduce rigor, or are inconsistent with the intended goal.

Organizing

The teacher attempts the MLR, but deviates from the intended structure (e.g., pre-teaches before allowing students to engage in Three Reads).
