[General] Language & Mathematics

[Dimitris]

When a blilingual student at the age of 7 - 10 starts learning mathematics in a foreign language (L2), does he/she uses language skills or cognitive skills from his mother language (L1)? Is there any academic work in this area? I would appreciate any help on that area. Thank you.
