Using words in solving mathematical problems for developing grade-2 students’mathematical communication competency

Abstract

The development of mathematical communication competency for primary school students plays a very important role. The reality shows that grade-2 students face a lot of difficulties when solving Maths problems with words because their thinking is still limited to understand the words in the problems to express themselves. Those are problems of mathematics communication among grade-2 students. The article presents the current mathematical communication competency situation and suggests some development measures using mathematical problems using words.
