American Institute for Research: “Scaffolding Instruction for English Language Learners: Resource Guide” (https://www.engageny.org/resource/scaffolding-instruction-english- language-learners-resource-guides-english-language-arts-and). To help ELLs master the Mathematical Practices, the document provides an overview of flexible, high-yield scaffolds to support ELLs in meeting the standards, followed by a series of four sample lessons from the New York State Education Department (engage^ny) with scaffolding suggestions throughout for grades K, 4, 8, and algebra.

Supporting ELLs in Mathematics: The goal of these materials is to illustrate how Common Core-aligned math tasks can be used to support math instruction and language development for ELLs at three grade spans (elementary, middle, and high school) (http://ell.stanford.edu/ teaching_resources/math). The site uses or adapts tasks from two publicly accessible curriculum projects:

Inside Mathematics: http://wwwinsidemathematics.org/

Mathematics Assessment Project: http://map.mathshell.org/index.php
