Abstract

This work is situated in the bilingual context of the Lleida province. In this province two languages are in contact, the catalan and the Spanish, but in the family and in the school context the Catalan language is used more frequently than the Spanish language.
In this context, our study analyses the influence of the variables of the social and educative context as such linguistic familiar condition and the social and professional condition of the family, and the individual variables as such: intellectual coefficient and self perception of mathematics achievement.
The results of our work show, on one hand, the relevance of the language as a mediator for the teaching and learning of mathematics contents. The achievement of the students in mathematics is related with the knowledge and the use of the teaching language —the Catalan—.
On the other hand, our work shows a significant correlation between the achievement in mathematics and the individual variables as the intellectual coefficient and the self-perception of the own achievement.
