Introduction by Tony Grice.

Mathspeak is for young people who are learning a foreign language and studying mathematics in the language they are learning.
Mathspeak aims to illuminate both the subject of mathematics and its register by unravelling its complex and sometimes eccentric vocabulary and grammar.
The five characters on this page demonstrate mathematical language and give it context.
At the moment Mathspeak is being developed in six languages: English, Italian, Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian and Polish. We hope that eventually it will be in more.

The Mathspeak project is a partnership between European educational practitioners and the creators of educational materials. Funded by the European Commission, this project aims to provide non-native language speaking students with the means by which they can do maths better. Cherryleaf Ltd is acting as project coordinators to the Mathspeak education project, which the Erasmus+ programme announced, at the end of December 2018, had received its funding.

The Mathspeak project aims to provide non-native language speaking students with the means by which they can do maths better. When students study mathematics in a foreign language, the language itself adds layers of difficulty to something that is already abstract and opaque. Research shows that students don’t perform at mathematics as well as they could. This is because they need words and grammar to discuss and understand the mathematical terminology, such as the functions and operations.
