Résumé du livre
New Zealand's national mathematics curriculum addresses the importance of children communicating their mathematical understandings as an aid for improving mathematical performance. This paper will discuss what is meant by communication in mathematics and the effect of richer communication on mathematics learning. It identifies different communication skills children will need to develop, and examines the implications for classroom teachers in terms of professional knowledge, assessment and classroom culture.
