Maths through English or
English through Maths?
Sandie Mourão
The workshop on 12 th July, “Maths
through English or English through
Maths?”, by Sandie Mourão was very
gratifying and rich. First we spoke about
maths and the different topics to teach,
like
numbers,
calculating,
shapes,
patterns, making sets and sorting, and
time. “What can we do?” was one of the
questions answered. According to Sandie
Mourão we can use numbers words, sing
songs, tell stories with numbers, and play
with number words, chants and more.
In our daily routines we can also use
maths,
addition
and
subtraction,
combining, counting up, subtizing, taking
away and finding the difference.
To end the session, the teacher trainer
gave us a chant for categorizing and
showed how easy it is to work maths in
English.
