LS2 has been strengthening their connections to the maths language to help understand what written maths questions are asking us. At the beginning of our maths session, we shared the different words we use to say 'hello' and thought about how this could be confusing for people who are learning to speak English. During our maths session, Mrs Anderson asked us what we thought the meaning of a plane is. Everyone had thought it was the transportation type, but in the maths context it was a flat surface. We need to know the what words mean in the maths context to help us understand the questions that we are asked. To complete this activity my group and I dragged each word to their maths box. We used the explore tool to help us define the meaning of a word.
