[QUOTE="SRL, post: 53872, member: 701"] A important math-related topic, especially given the recent emphasis on standardized testing, is students who are capable of doing what is required of them in math but struggle with the language of math. The pendulum has swung so far to the right that students who are naturally good at math can be really pounded (in the opinion of some, discriminated against) gradewise and test score wise because they naturally saw what needed to be done but couldn't explain how they did what they did or didn't have the language skills to explain it. One mom I know said her math bright little son got all the answers to all ten problems correctly and then on the ten lines where he was supposed to explain how he got the answer he wrote (10 times) "The answer just popped into my head."
