Mathematics
Introduction:
Language and communication are very important in daily life dealings and work. In the same way mathematics also has special language. Mathematical Literacy is a powerful resource due to which we can use wide spectrum of strategies and approaches for building students’ facility in mathematical communication. Literacy demonstrates how we can use improved learning through traditional communication skills such as: * listening * writing * speaking * reading
and also describes math specific communication: * graphing * diagrams * symbolizing * tables It provides everything what you need in daily life and in your classroom, guiding you through the ample research base and theoretical underpinnings supporting its ideas, demonstrating implementation through detailed classroom vignettes, and presenting ready-to-use tools and activities that connect theory directly to practice. Whether you are student or teacher or creating whole-staff professional learning, Mathematical Literacy promotes professional learning with questions interspersed throughout that encourage reflection and prompt you to action. It offers many paths for teachers to take as they help students to improve their use of mathematical language and grow as mathematicians.
Aims and Objectives: I will try to explain following points in this assignment
Types of Language Difficulties
Specific Problems
Teaching Strategies
Activities and Materials
Further Development
Types of Language Difficulties and Specific Problems:
The language difficulties which are very common in mathematics are abstract and natural language, vocabulary, miscues in word problems, syntax and some others. The importance of language in learning mathematics cannot be over stated.We understand mathematics by making connections between language, pictures and smbols.
