Abstract
Sometimes what we say or what we intend to say is not understood by those with whom we are speaking. In classrooms where a specialized vocabulary and structure of communication are necessary for academic success, teachers must be aware of any factors that might impede students' success. In mathematics, for example, language is the primary medium for constructing, sharing, and expanding ideas. Being both proficient with and understanding mathematical language in the form of vocabulary, symbols, expressions, definitions, and so on, are important. Therefore, it is critical for mathematics teachers to consider problems that students might be having with the language of mathematics.
