Language competence in mathematics

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
This paper asks whether particular problems exist in mathematics for students who have to learn their discipline in a language which is not their mother tongue. One possible problem area is considered—the relationship between performance in mathematics and the understanding of mathematical text.

Notion of mathematical competence

Moscow University Pedagogical Education Bulletin, 2010
The article introduces the notion of mathematical competence as an example of subject-orientated competence. It presents a unique way of identifying a competence - competence test - and its specifications for mathematics activities. The features and reasons of a tendency to simplify the notion of mathematical competence in secondary and higher ...

Is Mathematical Competence Innate?

Philosophy of Science, 1995
Despite a vast philosophical literature on the epistemology of mathematics and much speculation about how, in principle, knowledge of this domain is possible, little attention has been paid to the psychological findings and theories concerning the acquisition, comprehension and use of mathematical knowledge.
