| ESL SP41L - Math Communication (38) |
|
In many ways, math functions as a universal written language because it has vocabulary (i.e., symbols with meanings), grammar (i.e., rules that explain how the symbols can be used) and syntax (i.e., organizational patterns for combining symbols to form propositions). However, people are not born speaking or writing math—they learn the language of math through other languages like English, Mandarin, or Spanish. In fact, math can only be shared if people who are fluent in the language of math understand how to communicate about math with others. In this course, you will explore the concept of mathematical communication in English. You will develop awareness and strategies for communicating mathematically to different audiences (e.g., those who understand math and those who do not). You will also examine some of the basic principles followed when participating in different forms of mathematical writing and mathematical talk in English.
