| Title | Math in the Foreign Language Classroom (Part 3) |
| Body | These ideas for practicing math skills in your classroom utilize statistics to compare social and cultural differences. ---- Using an almanac, you could devise surveys, etc. where students compare countries in their statistics, e.g. square miles/Kilometers, GNP, population, number speaking language X, and so on. Then they write up the statistics in L2 and present the info orally, comparing and contrasting to the extent you have time to set up those activities. Perhaps social studies teachers could give you ideas. Barrett, P. Re: Schoolwide math goal. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
