Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how math teachers integrate reading practices in their teaching. Regarding strategies for reading mathematics texts, 148 secondary math teachers shared valuable suggestions including encouraging students’ active reading in math texts with various activities and discussion, identifying key concepts, providing additional materials, or promoting students’ motivations and curiosity on the target concepts. Text mining techniques, sentiment analysis and topic modeling, were employed to cross-validate the result of qualitative content analysis and provided additional supportive evidence on the research findings.
