Talking Maths
Talking Maths is based on the Talking Partners programme and was developed by Liverpool Mathematics Team, supported by Liverpool Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service. It is a 10 week intervention programme which targets speaking and listening skills in the context of mathematical language.
Talking Maths is an intervention programme that
- targets speaking and listening skills - skills that are crucial to developing children's thinking strategies when solving mathematical problems
- supports children - including those for whom English is an additional language - to learn how to use mathematical vocabulary and terminology
- supports children who may show some mathematical competence but who would benefit from developing their use and understanding of mathematical language in the context of mathematics
- supports teachers and TAs on how to model good mathematical language and questioning
- develops children's abilities to reason, generalise, predict and recognise patterns and relationships
- can actively support the current in-class Maths focus or can be used as a 'stand-alone'
- focuses on the needs of children from Year 1 to Year 7
