Bilingualism and Mathematical Reasoning in English as a Second Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dawe, Lloyd – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1983
Findings of a study of bilingual Punjabi, Mirpuri, Italian, and Jamaican children aged 11-13 growing up in England are reported. First-language competence was found to be an important factor in children's ability to do mathematical reasoning in English as a second language. Knowledge of logical connectives appeared crucial.
