About the Book

Knowledge is transmitted, explored and advanced via language face-to-face, in printed texts, and in other media. Children and their teachers write, read, talk and listen mathematics. Mathematics education begins and proceeds in language, it advances or stumbles because of language, and its outcomes are often assessed in language. "Language and Mathematical Educuation" presents current perspectives and reviews the key issues. It brings together in one volume work from researchers concerned with various aspects of language in mathematics education. Each contributor provides an account of their research and draws out the practical implications in terms which will inform and guide teachers. Following the introductory section there are sections exploring: language and early experiences of number; language and meanings in mathematics education; word problems; the uses of discussion; language, mathematics and disability; and cross-linguistic issues. This book examines how language plays significant and problematic roles in mathematics education, reveals some of the ambiguities and complexities in the way language is used in the mathematics curriculum; and will be a useful resource for all mathematics educators.

Table of Contents:

Part 6 Language, mathematics and disability: mathematics and the deaf child, Jeffrey Barham and Alan Bishop; mathematics and dyslexia, Michel Thomson; teaching mathematics to young children with language disorders, Chris Donlan and Ella Hutt. Part 7 Cross-linguistic issues: chinese-based regular and European irregular systems of number words - the disadvantages for English-speaking children, Karen Fuson and Youngshim Kwon; learning to count in Japanese, Hajime Yoshida and Kazuhiro Kuriyama; mathematics in a multilingual society, Philip Clarkson; number experience and performance in Australian Aboriginal and Western children.
