CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF USING BILINGUAL TEXTBOOKS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL MATH LESSONS

Abstract

. The article deals with a problem of using bilingual textbooks in mathematics in primary schools in the context of bilingualism. The problem issues are considered on the example of bilingual (in the Russian and Khakass languages) workbooks on mathematics published and tested in schools of the Republic of Khakassia for grades 1 and 2 of primary general education schools. Some aspects of preserving the language and cultural heritage of the Khakass people are touched upon. The thesis about a possible solution to this problem in the future through strengthening children’s access to the opportunity to learn the Khakass language in school education is substantiated. To do this, the researchers suggest using the tools and capabilities of the mathematical language. The article describes the experience of using bilingual workbooks in mathematics for grades 1 and 2 in schools. Parallel placement in two columns of educational material in two languages helps the general idea of the research.
