Teaching Math to English Learners with Adrian Mendoza

Blue Glasses Math

How can we create math classrooms where English learners (ELs) don’t just survive—but thrive? In this episode, I sit down with Adrian Mendoza, author of Teaching Math to English Learners, to explore strategies that make math more accessible and meaningful for multilingual learners.

We unpack the unique challenges ELLs face in math classrooms, from language barriers to cultural differences in mathematical understanding. Adrian shares practical approaches that help ELLs engage deeply with math concepts, develop mathematical language, and build confidence as problem-solvers.

If you’ve ever wondered how to shift your instruction to better support ELLs—or if you’re looking for actionable strategies to make math more inclusive—this conversation is a must-listen!
