This study explores the instructional implications and educational              potential of a new synthesis of reading and mathematics aimed at                fostering critical thinking and a deeper understanding of mathematics as        a discipline.  Building on current research in mathematics education,           reading comprehension, and critical thinking, a framework for using             "reading to learn mathematics" is developed and implemented in secondary        school mathematics classrooms using a collaborative research model.             Instructional units which introduce strategies for comprehending                mathematical texts other than traditional textbooks from the core of            this new synthesis.                                                                                                                                             The study has three phases: (1)conceptual work developing the                   theoretical framework and instructional implications; (2) professional          development for teachers who will implement "reading to learn                   mathematics" units in their classrooms; (3) collaborative research with         teachers on the implementation of these units.  Data from audio and             video tapes of classroom instruction, in-depth interviews, and case             studies will be analyzed to understand how students and teachers                interpret and use "reading to learn mathematics" and what students gain         from their participation in these experiences.  The study will also             examine how teachers' beliefs and practices are influenced by                   participation in collaborative research.                                                                                                                        The interdisciplinary nature of this research and its emphasis on               collaboration will provide insights into teaching-learning strategies           which reconceptualize the goals of school mathematics.
