 * [|Problem Solving and the English Language Learner] Techniques that can be used to enhance mathematics instruction for English language learners. YEU and YTA members can send me a quick note at Paula.Thompson@yesnet.yk.ca to obtain a copy.
 * [|Differentiating Instruction in Mathematics for the English Language Learner] Mathematics teachers need to provide explicit language instruction for students learning English. By differentiating instruction in mathematics, teachers can plan and provide instruction in mathematics with the goal of providing access to all students. Constructing knowledge leads to greater understanding and principles of language acquisition provide a framework to support differentiating the mathematics classroom. YEU and YTA members can send me a quick note at Paula.Thompson@yesnet.yk.ca to obtain a copy.
 * [|One Lesson, Many Facets] Manipulatives and technology can model the scaffolding of language acquisition while teaching algebra and geometry. YEU and YTA members can send me a quick note at Paula.Thompson@yesnet.yk.ca to obtain a copy.
 * Informing Practice: Designing Math Lessons for English Language Learners A four-component process to teach mathematics to English language learners is explored. Research-based strategies within each example illustrate how research can be turned into practice. YEU and YTA members can send me a quick note at Paula.Thompson@yesnet.yk.ca to obtain a copy.
