This workshop is designed to support delegates in ensuring speaking and listening has a high profile within the mathematics curriculum, being used to challenge and stimulate thinking and reasoning skills. Effective engagement strategies and practical language-based activities will be modelled to scaffold, develop and extend pupils who have English as an additional language as articulate and independent mathematicians. The language demands of the maths curriculum will be analysed and discussed with a view to giving staff a greater awareness of how to make the maths curriculum more accessible and engaging for EAL learners.
