Dear Educator,

Rosen Math for the Real World by Rosen Classroom Materials integrates math into curriculum subjects, such as English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies through literature.

According to research (Clark, 2002) literature can be the vehicle for providing meaningful context for learning in math and help the learner:

Value math
Encourages learners to be problem solvers
Provides and builds mathematical vocabulary
Supports reasoning
Make connecting to real-life
Provides visualization of mathematical concepts through illustrations

Research also indicates that when literature and math are connected, students understand math concepts readily and retain the knowledge (Raymond, 1995). Math scores have also been known to increase when math strategies are combined with literature (Jennings, 1992).

Address Louisiana Grade Level Expectations in grades Pre-K through 8th.
Textbooks are written for a general national audience or for specific large states and may contain topics that are not areas of focus in Louisiana curriculum. They often lack treatment of specific regional content or perspectives.
Variety of reading levels to reach all students
Textbooks are notoriously difficult to comprehend even for students who read at grade level. Rosen Classroom has books written several readability levels so that struggling readers, students at grade level, and those needing an extra challenge can access the same standards-based content. All Rosen Classroom books are leveled for guided reading.
Highly supportive visuals make text more accessible
Photographs, illustrations, graphs, charts, and other visual elements reinforce and clarify written text to enhance comprehension.
Teach Academic Vocabulary
The vocabulary of social studies, science and math is essential to attainment of difficult concepts. Rosen Classroom materials incorporate the standards-based academic vocabulary of each content area in our books as well as in text features such as picture glossaries and traditional glossaries. Instruction in academic vocabulary employs research-based methods which will help your students achieve on standardized tests and beyond.
Integration of literacy and content instruction
Textbooks are written to deliver the information essential to the content area. Rosen Classroom materials allow you to teach reading, writing, listening and speaking as students acquire content knowledge. This integration enhances learning and maximizes your use of time.
