    Session Abstract:   "Just as students draw on their literacy skills to understand science and social studies matter, students need numeracy skills to interpret science and social studies material. During this session, you can expect to experience activities you can use in classes. These activities will help students access non-textual information and reason from data."

    Abstract:

    How can adult education instructors maximize teaching time in the classroom? Use interdisciplinary infographics! This presentation explores how ready-made authentic infographics can be used as a tool to engage students in constructing meaningful knowledge, and gaining conceptual understanding, of real-life math as they explore it through the lens of infographics. This presentation contains links to resources that model how students can create their own infographics that demonstrate their understanding of, and connections within and between, a specific content area and the numeric data that supports the subject matter. Though this presentation focuses on how infographics can be used in the math classroom, connections to social studies and writing activities are made explicit.  The resource section provides educators with numerous websites that they can access to get started using infographics in the classroom. In the workshop at COABE 2016, we created a simple infographic which is pictured. ATTACHMENTS: How To Contextualize Math Using Infographics 1
