Multilingual Mathematics
The Terminology Coordination Section’s (TCSs) primary focus with the school projects is the documentation of existing terminology, and facilitation of the development of terminology in the African languages for new concepts that appear in the teaching materials for Grades 1 to 6. Eight learning areas are incorporated in Curriculum 2005. These learning areas are Mathematics, Natural Science and Technology, Human, Social, Economic and Management Sciences, Arts and Culture, Life Orientation and Languages. This glossary of terms compiled by the TCS of a school subject in all the official languages is the first of its kind. Approximately 1 000 entries have been documented for this project. The team who worked on the terms considers it part of a learning process – also for themselves. The different collaborator groups, the team members of which are all first language speakers of the particular target languages, added term equivalents.
