The evolution of mathematical discourse in technology-rich classrooms

• In Event: Changing Mathematics Education With Technology Through Research in Schools

Abstract

Characteristically, when SimCalc technology is used in classrooms, the important interactions are not only between students and computers; there are also important changes in discourse among students and between teachers and students. We will talk about analyzing the different forms of mathematical discourse that young learners use (e.g. scholastic, conjecturing, reasoning) and the mediating roles of interactive technologies and social interaction in students' discourse.
