ORAL LANGUAGE: Indigenious Languages and Mathematics

# data[].attributes.body
Students come to the classroom with histories and world views that are unique. How students see the world also defines how they reason about the world and this includes reasoning about mathematical concepts. Dr. Lisa Lunney Borden has does a great deal of research in this area and she emphasizes the importance understanding language to help students make meaningful and personal connections to mathematics. She argues that when we learn about the ways of thinking embedded in Indigenous languages, we gain insight into new ways to think about teaching mathematics. Here more from Dr. Lisa Lunney Borden below on how language impacts mathematics learning

When math concepts are presented in words rather than in numbers, it can involve more complex processing. It is important to consider how to support students who have communication needs such as :

*students who use augmented and alternative means of communication
*students with social communication difficulties
*students with difficulty processing language

With the appropriate accomodations and supports, ALL students can benefit from linking literacy with math.

Students need many opportunities to write during math. This may include students creating mathematical stories that are connected to a piece of literature or stories related to real life math

“The practice of mathematics is not merely plugging numbers into an algorithm or calculator to find a solution, nor is it just a subject in school or a set of rules to memorize. Mathematics is thinking and reasoning, solving problems, making connections, and being able to communicate ideas mathematically” (2000)
