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