When I started teaching over 30 years ago I was introduced straight from Wales to a multilingual classroom and to be honest I didn’t know what to do. I believe in Equality for all so started making my own resources. Being Welsh I am used to seeing things in two languages so it feels normal to me and I know that depending on your fluency you either read one, two or both. This booklet develops those themes and concentrates on the maths classroom. the main languages are Somali/English. I had students telling me " I am being treated as though I know nothing but I learnt this in my old school. I just don’t know what your word for it is". After a while my students steamed ahead as they were using their prior learning rather than going back a step and relearning everything, and just putting a new word to it. This equality of language meant mine and other teachers who used this system effectively raised learning and assessment as well as more importantly happy students.
