When do Multilingual Learners learn mathematics?
The answer isn’t just in the classroom—quality systems offer after-school, summer, and high-quality tutoring opportunities. Put together, this full spectrum of supports ensures that Multilingual Learners can meet the challenge of ambitious mathematics learning.
Offer opportunities to recognize how learning opportunities extend well beyond classroom settings.
Invest in high-dosage, high-quality, conceptually-focused tutoring to advance Multilingual Learners’ conceptual understanding.
Use after-school, before-school, and summer learning time to expand and enhance Multilingual Learners’ mathematical experiences.
For example: RAMPUP is a summer bridge program that challenges and supports Multilingual Learners to explore cross-cutting concepts in high school mathematics. For example, as Multilingual Learners explore how to represent and transform social networks, students develop proofs of impossibility by induction and by exhaustion (Chu, DePiper, & Westergard, 2025).
