Four Step Language Math is made up of four basic components that are simple by themselves but together make a powerful learning tool.

Step One: What do you need to solve?

Step Two: List all of the information from the problem

Step Three: List the strategies you will used to solve the problem.

Step Four: Solve the problem

It is during the process of extracting information, giving it a name, communicating this information to peers and teacher, and hearing mathematical words being spoken and used by other students, that the acquisition of the language of math is developed.

It allows the teacher to teach Common Core standards-based material at a normal pace without worrying that they will be leaving students behind.
