Webinar: More Than Numbers - The Role of Language in Mathematics

  • 1 CPD hour


Mathematics is more than numbers. It is a language students must learn to read, interpret, and represent. Long before formal schooling, children begin developing early numeracy concepts that help them make sense of both the language and the symbolic systems of mathematics. 
  • This webinar explores the language demands of mathematics and how language difficulties can create hidden barriers to learning. Participants will gain practical strategies to support students with Language Disorder, helping them access mathematical concepts and build confidence in the maths classroom.

    Learning Objectives
    • Explain the role of language in the development of both mathematical fluency and understanding
    • Describe mathematics as a language system (verbal, symbolic, and visual)
    • Identify the key language demands of mathematics and how language difficulties may affect students’ performance on these tasks
    • Select practical strategies and supports for students with Language Disorder to improve access to the maths curriculum
We recommend using a tablet or a computer to undertake this course.
