Helping English language learners (ELLs) feel confident and succeed in the classroom is so important! Lucky to Learn Math is the perfect solution, with features designed to support ELLs and at the same time, make math fun and accessible for everyone.

Let's take a closer look at how Lucky to Learn Math makes a real difference for ELLs, giving them the tools and confidence to excel in math.

Visuals are critical for ELLs. Lucky to Learn Math incorporates anchor charts and visual aids for every math topic. These resources help students connect words to actions and concepts, ensuring they fully understand the material.

Opportunities for Verbal Interaction

Instead of a traditional approach where only a few students get to answer questions, our program encourages “turn and talk” or “chorally respond.” This gives every student the chance to engage, think, and speak about math, which is crucial for language development.

Labeling and Gestures
