Abstract

Acquiring the mathematics register is often assumed to occur when learning mathematics. However, when students learn in a second language and are taught by teachers who are also not teaching in their native language, this may not be a straight-forward process. This paper describes the strategies that teachers in a Mäori immersion school (kura kaupapa Mäori) used to scaffold and model the mathematics register. Although most strategies could be seen in many classrooms, there were some strategies that seemed to be related to the students and teachers using te reo Mäori as the language of instruction.
