Abstract

Through collaboration between a teacher and a researcher, we developed 5-Act Task Framework by utilizing modeling as vehicle, aiming to support Emergent Bilinguals (EBs) to engage in high-quality mathematics. A classroom episode is described to illustrate how 5-Act Task-based lessons were implemented effectively for EBs by connecting the students’ language and real-life context. With the belief that EBs are capable of mathematical modeling with appropriate support, we implemented the 5-Act Task Framework that provides EBs with access to rigorous mathematics while developing language throughout the modeling process.
