Morphology

mathematical + statement

The meaning is directly compositional: the adjective 'mathematical' restricts the noun 'statement' to assertions about mathematics, so a learner who knows both words can readily infer 'a precise declaration about mathematics.' This adjective+noun pattern is regular and common across languages, making the phrase immediately understandable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

The phrase mathematical statement joins mathematical, meaning about numbers and shapes, with statement, meaning a clear sentence that says something. Imagine a teacher writing 'two plus two equals four' on the board; that clear sentence is a mathematical statement, so the phrase means 'a clear and exact sentence about numbers or shapes'.
