Using Mobile Technology to Encourage Mathematical Communication in Maori-Medium Pangarau Classrooms
Allen, Piata
Teachers and Curriculum, v17 n2 p85-88 2017
Maori-medium pangarau classrooms occupy a unique space within the mathematics education landscape. The language of instruction is an endangered minority language and many teachers and learners in Maori-medium pangarau classrooms are second language (L2) learners of te reo Maori. Mobile technology could be used in Maori-medium pangarau classrooms to address some of the linguistic challenges. This think piece explores the benefits of using mobile technology to capture multiple representations of pangarau concepts as a way of encouraging mathematical communication in te reo Maori.
