A lot of the ideas in the book have been challenging to relate to a math class. The Multimodel Identity and Literacy chapter is an excellent example of how good practices stretch across the curriculum. All of the practices and activities mentioned are used, to some extent, in a math class. For example, I use colors and movement to help reinforce mathematical algorithms. When planning a math lesson, the different modes are always considered. This really helps the second language learners and the lower level students.
I think it all just goes back to best teaching practices and good ol' common sense.
