Abstract
This research investigates mathematical teaching practices on elementary students’ mathematical comprehension. Three themes were identified in the literature: the use of mathematical manipulatives, teacher instructional practices, and embedded language support. Research demonstrates that implementing specific mathematical teaching practices may support elementary students’ mathematical comprehension. After the literature review section is an action plan with recommendations based on the literature for implementation of mathematical teaching practices in current elementary schools. In the discussion section, the challenges of implementation of mathematical teaching practices will be discussed with future research and suggestions for educators based on the research found.
