Teachers are often unaware that bilingualstudents often switch between their languages when doing mathematics. Little research has been undertaken into this phenomenon. Results are reported here from a study of language switching by sixteen Year 4/5 Iranianbilingualstudents as they solved mathematical problems in an interview situation. Reasons given for switching between English and their L1 language (Persian or Farsi) were the difficulty of the problem, familiarity with particular numbers or words they used habitually in Persian, and being in the Persian school or interview environment. It seems likely that these Iranianbilingualstudents will continue to use some form of language switching to help them understand and complete mathematical tasks in mainstream classrooms.
