How to teach Maths to EAL children

Teaching mathematics to students who speak English as an additional language (EAL) is challenging. Math will frequently be complex for EAL students, and teachers may find it challenging to overcome the language barrier. Still, we have some solutions and the best EAL maths resources in today’s post.

Offering a welcoming environment

EAL students could lack confidence as they have moved from one country to another or simply from a different school. The first step is to show them and their parents how inviting the school environment is and accommodating of their differences; we give you instant access to posters and signs in over 200 languages.

1. Language support

The content of your lessons must be understandable and relevant to the experiences of our EAL students. Real-life number exercises and problem-solving utilizing everyday items can help students engage with and learn mathematics. Our recommended solution is to use our Dual-Language pictorial Maths resources to engage and help the student better understand the subject.

2. Number

Understanding the number systems is essential for unleashing potential in all fields of mathematics. The availability of resources to assist with calculations is necessary. Often Beads on strings or structured number lines may be required along with EMAS UK’s EAL maths resources to help children communicate their strategies. It is necessary to ensure that children understand the lesson’s purpose and context and clarify its significance before the class.

3. Mathematical discussions

Talk prompts cards that are visual and easy to communicate their ideas on whether an answer is accurate, if they agree with the answers they see, these techniques or presenting solutions, and so on can assist EAL students in accessing mathematical discussions.

4. Mathematical symbols

The mathematical symbols + x – are evident and may be accessed and used by EAL students to build excellent mathematical skills. Still, the variety of language associated with each symbol requires further guidance with EMAS UK’s EAL math resources.

The obstacles that EAL children face with language may be overcome. Research shows that students can make rapid progress when there are well-planned resources to help their learning and effective inclusive learning and teaching methods.
