Grades 3-9.

The problem with Math is English (and a few other things) -- Why a language focus in Mathematics? -- Language and symbolism in traditional instruction -- So what does conceptual understanding look like? -- The order of operations: a convention or a symptom of what ails us? -- Using multiplication as a critical knowledge base -- Fractions: the "F" word in mathematics -- Operations with fractions -- Unlocking the power of symbolism and visual representation -- Language-focused conceptual instruction -- Mathematics: it's all about relationships! -- The perfect non-storm: understanding the problem and changing the system.
