Using a Translanguaging Lens to Analyze Students’ Meaning-Making in Mathematics
Using a Translanguaging Lens to Analyze Students’ Meaning-Making in Mathematics

A new study co-authored by TERC’s Andee Rubin explores how a translanguaging lens can reveal the complex ways emergent bilingual students make meaning in mathematics. The research shows how students blend language, gestures, interactions, and technology as they work together to engage in mathematical modeling.
