Abstract
The ability to read, write, and speak mathematics is critical to students becoming comfortable with statistical models and skills. Faster development of those skills may act as encouragement to further engage with the discipline. Vocabulary has been the focus of scholarship in existing literature on the linguistics of mathematics and statistics but there are structures such as grammar that go beyond the content of words and symbols. Here I introduce ideas for grammar structures through a sequence of examples.
