Language+Development

=The students' language development in this unit will require prior knowledge of various mathematical concepts and terms that will help build towards their understanding of newly introduced topics and academic language. In order to participate in classroom learning, the students must be able to describe orally various characteristics of systems of linear equations through the use of a wide array of academic language. This use of oral language will be assessed throughout group discussions and during classroom presentations of material. The students must also have high proficiency in written English, as they will additionally be assessed on their abilities to explain in written words their thought processes when solving problems and how they arrived at certain solutions.=
