Abstract

Understanding how students use language is important for mathematics teachers, particularly when considering how best to teach mathematics with bilingual students. Translanguaging is a theory that provides a useful lens for understanding the language use of bilingual students. In this article, we share our perspectives on translanguaging and how this perspective might impact our instruction with bilingual students.
