Barwell, Richard; Leung, Constant; Morgan, Candia; Street, Brian – Mathematics Teaching, 2002
Explores how to develop children's understanding of mathematical vocabulary. Presents a lesson in which the class works on the concept of dimension, and issues raised by a discussion of applied linguistics and mathematics education. Discussion was stimulated by advice from the National Numeracy Strategy (NNS) vocabulary book. (KHR)
