How can ULM Project help newly arrived children?

We believe every single child can make a big difference in future, and
we want them to believe their potentials. The aim of the Universal
Language of Mathematics Project (ULM) is not only supporting newly
arrived children academically, but also increasing their motivation for
success in their school lives. We know that most of the students finds
Mathematics the most difficult subject, especially when it is learnt in
another language. We want to change this belief. This project will show
them every student can do mathematics. We eliminated the language
barrier for them, and prepared mathematic books with less words
and more fun. We used colors, pictures, and shapes to teach them
mathematics in the same level as native students in their classes. We
also gave instructions of the questions in Italian, English and Arabic. So,
parents can easily help their children while their learning journey. We
believe that the ULM Project will make this journey motivating and fun
for newly arrived children.
