Research group LeTME – Language Transitions in Mathematics Education
How does one learn mathematics language? LeTME researches mathematical language in relation to transitions between different levels in the school system.
Group description
LeTME is an international research network that gathers researchers interested in mathematical language. We research aspects of mathematical language in the pedagogic practices of mathematics teacher education and professional development.
The aim is to gather novel approaches to researching relations between mathematical language and mathematics learning. In particular we are interested in how the condensation of meaning characteristic for mathematics develops, as well as in the linguistic aspects involved in the transitions between secondary and tertiary mathematics education.
