Description
Learning and teaching mathematics in multilingual settings can be complex. This collection explores the issues that arise in classrooms with diverse language backgrounds across Europe, South Asia, North America, and Australia. Recent research is drawn upon to offer new insights into the relationship between language, learning, and mathematics. The book provides a global perspective on multilingual mathematics education, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that come with teaching in multiple languages. By examining the experiences of teachers and students in different linguistic contexts, this collection aims to contribute to our understanding of how language influences mathematical learning and how we can support students in navigating these complexities.
