I'm a middle school math teacher at a Title I middle school in South Florida. 80% of our students are learning English as a second language, most being new Americans from Latin American immigrant families. Consequently, our children's English proficiency varies a lot. Many of our children have missed year(s) of mathematics instruction in their home countries, compounding their linguistic difficulties. Our kids do not, understandably, respond well to lecturing. They do respond well to visual presentations and to hands-on activities. I use technology a lot in the classroom, and it greatly helps my students get a better understanding of the material!
