Abstract

Mathematics is a big driver in addressing the world’s complex problems, such as feeding a growing population, ethical use of artificial intelligence, and environmental sustainability. Previous research has established that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many students suffered learning loss, particularly in math. The learning gap in math education due to the pandemic and socioeconomic inequalities will have long-lasting implications for many students, contributing to the lack of career opportunities and increasing income disparities. This study aims to understand the role of language in the mathematical performance of students who attended school virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.
