To succeed in Maths, learners must be able to speak the language of Maths

Succeeding in mathematics depends greatly on how well you speak the language of maths. Why?

Well, imagine that you are presented with a test in a natural language you don’t speak. Or you may speak just enough of it to have everyday conversations, but not to understand or talk about specialised subjects. That is how most children start out learning maths, and their situation may be further complicated if the language they are expected to do maths in is not their home language.
