16.11.2023 The multilingual teaching of mathematics Докладчик: M. B. Visitaeva, Middle school, Urus-Martan, Russia We study mathematics in our elective classes on a multilingual basis. So far, we have been using native (Chechen), Russian and English languages. We follow the axiomatic method. First of all, we study the basis of the topic: basic definitions, properties, etc. We pay attention to the special features, which lie under a particular topic. For example, while students were study a theme "Arithmetic operations", they found it difficult to declare numerals in Chechen. At the same time, it was hard for them to read multi-digit numbers in English. We had been using British English, but whenever it was possible, we tried to pay attention to American English too. We also studied how to write down decimals and ordinary fractions, as well as, how to read them and perform operations on them in English. We also tried solving linear and non-linear equations, without excluding the simple problems. In the process of work (theoretical and practical) we take into account the results of international studies (PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, etc.) [1]. Thus, organized activities of students generally contribute to the development of their functional literacy, especially mathematical and reading literacy. References [1] Visitaeva M.B.
