Does language matter for math learning?<\/strong> Many children in Canada learn mathematics in a second language; that is, the language they use at school for math is different than the language they speak at home. Children in French Immersion programs, children from homes where a different language is spoken, and children who have immigrated from a country where the school language is not English or French may all be in this situation.<\/p>\n

The L<\/strong>anguage L<\/strong>earning a<\/strong>nd M<\/strong>ath A<\/strong>chievement project involves researchers from Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Northern Ireland. Children in grades 2 and 3 are completing measures of math performance, math-specific vocabulary knowledge, math symbol understanding, and working memory. The goal of the project is to understand how language influences the ways in which children learn math.<\/p>\n

In Canada, this project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada through an Insight Grant to J. LeFevre, H. Osana, E. Maloney, and S. Skwarchuk.<\/p>\n

In Northern Ireland, this project is funded by the British Academy through a grant to J. Wylie and V. Simms.<\/p>\n
