"This lesson uses the four modalities of reading (reading, writing, listening,
and speaking) on a math word problem to bridge the gap between reading and math.
After a read-aloud from the book Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and Lane
Smith, students create their own word problems with answers. Students solve each
other's problems. As they reread the word problems, fluency and comprehension
increase. Finally, students use the skills they've learned creating word
problems to complete a crossword puzzle. As students read the math concept words
presented in the
puzzle and write the correct answers, their reading and
writing math vocabulary skills increase."
