Math ideas???

I know that I am a social studies person, but I am desperately trying to convince my math teachers to include literacy strategies. They are truly reluctant to embrace these ideas. Does anyone have suggestions that can be used to convince the math teachers to incorporate literacy strategies? I supervise a group of 25 teachers. Our common thread is that we all teach freshmen. So I am always trying to view things from different content perspectives. My math teachers really resist change. Any ideas?
