How does Mathematics Education compare to the Science of Reading? In this episode, Pam Harris begins a conversation by addressing the broader differences in defining each discipline and the level of consensus in the literacy and mathematics education communities.

Talking Points:

• How terminology describing evidence-based practices differs in reading and mathematics.
• How math educators lack the same consensus as in the Science of Reading.
• Language Arts/Literacy is the analog to Mathematics. Reading is a subset of Language Arts/Literacy. There is no subset analog to reading in mathematics.
