Some typical weaknesses of the students in using this language and ways which promote them to master it. Dr. Rebeka Pali Department of Mathematics Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania <U#,H  "The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Galileo TL 6L@ Introduction  As other languages the language of mathematics has two main components: the semantic and the syntax. semantic of the language of mathematics - the symbols of this language, its terms and words, and syntax - the structures and its inner construction. gI  *2)MA Introduction # Mathematics uses different signs. The entirety of all these specific signs form the mathematical symbolic. The finite system of letters, clearly distinguished between them forms the alphabet of the mathematical language. The alphabet of the mathematical language is the basic "material", and by means of it, based on some defined mathematical rules are structured the words and sentences of this language. In this alphabet are included: all letters and punctuations signs of the everyday language, and the mathematical symbolic.ZUP 9 N  #= Xmt|:2>Everyday language plays a very important role in mathematics "?=.It is a flexible tool, and mastery of it helps students in simultaneous usage of specific languages. It serves as an intermediate link between mental processes, specific symbolic expression and their logical framework in certain mathematical activities. It serves as an intermediate link between student s experience and specific needs of their mathematical thinking, especially the need for interpreting and using reasoning that are different from the everyday ones. It has an important role in creating mathematical concepts through argumentation. It makes possible the interpretation of mathematical results. It interlaces the basic mathematical concepts. "P  )Specifics of the language of mathematics *(One of the particularities of the language of mathematics which is not present in other languages is its symbolism: theorems expressed by variable  x , can be applied when  x is replaced by  b or  2x+7 . Everyday language starts to be internalized by children as a spoken language, through voice sounds, related between them, in certain ways. While the language of mathematics starts to be internalized by children alongside spoken language as a written language. The language of mathematics using terms of everyday language gives them a rigorously determined meaning. In the everyday language synonyms are considered as a wealth of the language. From the other side many terms have double or even multiple meanings. Differently, the language of mathematics is distinguished for the precise meaning of its terms. Each term of it represent a fully determined meaning or object. vPeuJSBr;3(Specifics of the language of mathematics))Using or interpreting of connectives might cause that the meaning of a compound sentence in mathematical language to be different from its meaning in everyday language. The language of mathematics and the everyday language differ regarding to the intention, suitability or implications of a sentence. Small changes in verbal formulation in the mathematical language might influence the interpretation of the solution from a way to another. Another difference between the math and everyday languages comes from the fact that the everyday language use many expressions with indexes, which are understandable from the context but can not be written in the symbolic language. ZZZZ$&#&m;What does it mean to master the language of mathematics ? <:&As a first step, to master the language of mathematics is necessary to master the native language. The language of mathematics includes it and can not exists without the arsenal of the native language. Alongside, mastery of the mathematical language presumes the clarifying of the meaning of terms of the everyday language, which in mathematical language take a rigorously determined meaning. A special importance in mastering the vocabulary of mathematical language that is used in the school, have  the cue words . Also, it is important for students to recognize and use patterns. Pattern recognition is the key to much of mathematics. Mastery of mathematical language require that student to be familiarized with statements or sentences that have widely usage in mathematics. PRtm&\j<4:What does it mean to master the language of mathematics ?;;Of a great value is the effort to make students aware about the fact that the major part of mathematical sentences or statements have two truth values: true or false. Mastery of mathematical language is strongly relied in the knowing and precise using of the symbolic. Another important demand in mastery the language of mathematics is the ability of students to do the two-way translations. One more aspect to be mentioned is finding of a balance between the spoken language and written language. ZZZZH&Study#The data are based on the observations. 8 schools - 612 students - 20 teachers Methodology: Observation and recording of the verbal work of students and teachers; written tests; interviews with teachers; study of the math textbooks. )*V =5What is observed?

They solve the equation x + 5 = 8 and give the answer:  the solution of the equation is x = 3 . In fact, x = 3 is a new equation equivalent to the first one and the answer should be:  the value of x equal to three is the solution of the equation, number 3 is the solution . This is reflected in written work as well. They have to find values of  x that satisfy the inequality x < 12, in general they write: x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 instead of x{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}.

Findings Some of the students mix up the terms that stands for the operations with terms that stands for the results of the operations.Some of students responsesN A great number of students have difficulty to do double-sided translations. Slide 17Some of students responsescMany students dont know the properties of arithmetical operations and dont name them correctly. Some students responsesAA considerable percentage of the students dont know and respect the conventions of the language of mathematics regarding the order of doing operations and using brackets. It is easier to decide the order of the operations of a given expression that to create an expression when the order of the operation is given.

Slide 40y The following are examples where is required to generalize concrete examples in symbolic representation of math facts: The concentrating of the attention to the method of solving helps students to feel secure in solving all equations of that type. FSome examples which would promote students in giving explanations: Slide 44GThe two-way translations can be stimulated by the following examples: 6Rules and conventions of the mathematical languages: "The correct use of the symbols: DTo improve the language of mathematics that they use for function: 4Students can be practiced in formulating problems: !To enrich the math vocabulary : Slide 51Learning activities  Fonts UsedDesign TemplateEmbedded OLE Servers Slide Titles4_@ 0PCPC  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~      !#$%&'()*+,-.012345689:;<=>CRoot EntrydO)Pictures4Current User7SummaryInformation("PowerPoint Document(d DocumentSummaryInformation8/
