Az anyanyelv és a matematika kapcsolódásának a lehetőségei

Abstract

First language skills are essential in learning other subjects and in students′ academic efficiency. Text comprehension plays a significant role in solving text-based mathematical problems, as well. This study examines the relationship between text comprehension and mathematics. The first part covers the theoretical background of this topic, citing results from research on text-based mathematical problems. Based on these, it presents a model that describes problem-solving strategies and specifies the conditions for successful problem-solving, including the role of text comprehension. The next part of the study addresses the relationship between mathematics and first language development, with a focus on the attitude-forming impact. The concluding part recommends tasks that require both mathematical and first-language skills for their solution. It provides examples of complex mathematical and text comprehension tasks that have a positive effect on students′ attitudes towards subjects and learning outcomes.
