I've always loved it. I've always found great success and accomplishments dealing with math and numbers. Overview As the learner quoted above affirms, math is a language. Mathematical communication is an overarching process which includes understanding, expressing and conveying ideas mathematically in order to reflect on and clarify one's thinking, to make convincing arguments, and to reach decisions. In the workplace, much of this information and many of these ideas are mathematical.
Mathematical communication can occur in any relationship and context.
Good mathematical communication is like all other effective communication requiring listening, speaking, reading and writing skills along with interpersonal skills. Stakeholders representing public and private employers, k-12 and higher education practitioners and administrators, professional development providers, ABE math teachers, workforce development officials, educational publishers, and researchers and other academicians also included communication among their top four priorities. Communication provides the foundation for learning in school and in life. If you can't communicate, you can't learn. Communication includes knowing when and being able to ask for help in the ABE math classroom and in life in general.
