Tla’amin Mathematics: Making Math Local (Again)
Learning Multiplication by Translating across Microworlds
In this article, we explore students’ experiences of using two different digital microworlds of multiplication, which can be found in the multitouch application TouchTimes. We draw on Diagne’s notion of translation to frame our study, focusing on the learning that occurs in the movement between the two microworlds. We study translation in terms of actions, strategies, perceptions, and preferences and highlight both the translatables and the untra…
Bridging disciplinary aesthetics: When mathematics meets art through educational technology
In this article, we discuss the way students’ aesthetic experiences can shape the learning of mathematics at higher school levels. We designed a learning environment based on three main design principles: (1) Mathematics as Artistic, where mathematics is used for open artistic creation; (2) Aesthetically rich mathematical experiences, that enable students to appreciate mathematical beauty and aesthetic experiences of wondering, imagining, conject…
New Spatial Imaginaries for International Curriculum Projects: Creative Diagrams, Mapping Experiments, and Critical Cartography
This article explores the complex relational landscape of international partnerships where local and transnational education objectives are entangled. We present a methodological practice for experimenting with diagrams and maps. Our emphasis on spatial rendering of local/global relationality is intended to invite discussion about the postcolonial context of international education work and the geopolitics of transnational curriculum. We pursue a…
Landing Sites, Cities, and Nonplaces: Collaborating Across the Conference Circuit
This article keeps tuned to the ritual of scholarly gathering, an activity continued somewhat differently today in the online meeting. We aim to speak to current concerns about place and belonging under new climatic and digital regimes. We pose the question, “What will be the spatial logic and shape of scholarly collaboration after lockdown and ‘zoomtopia’?” The article recounts our decade-long collaboration and is structured around 10 sketches o…

Re-thinking ‘Concrete to Abstract’ in Mathematics Education: Towards the Use of Symbolically Structured Environments
Conception de tâches Merlo: Un dispositif dans la formation continue pour l’enseignement de la géométrie
Les intra-actions sociomatérielles au service de l’apprentissage mathématique
Dans le cadre de ce numéro thématique sur les interactions sociales au service des apprentissages mathématiques, nous souhaitons mettre l’accent sur des éléments théoriques nouveaux, issus des courants du nouveau matérialisme et du posthumanisme, qui permettent de réexaminer le concept d’interaction sociale afin de mieux comprendre l’aspect matériel de l’activité mathématique. Comment peut-on considérer les interactions entre élèves, et entre ens…
The Quantum Mind: Alternative Ways of Reasoning with Uncertainty
Human reasoning about and with uncertainty is often at odds with the principles of classical probability. Order effects, conjunction biases, and sure-thing inclinations suggest that an entirely different set of probability axioms could be developed and indeed may be needed to describe such habits. Recent work in diverse fields, including cognitive science, economics, and information theory, explores alternative approaches to decision theory. This…
Disrupting Boundaries in Education and Research
In Disrupting Boundaries in Education and Research, six educational researchers explore together the potentialities of transdisciplinary research that de-centres human behaviour and gives materiality its due in the making of educational worlds. The book presents accounts of what happens when researchers think and act with new materiality and post-human theories to disrupt boundaries such as self and other, human and non-human, representation and …

The haptic nature of gesture: Rethinking gesture with new multitouch digital technologies
This paper is about re-thinking gesture in order to reckon with its material and haptic nature, especially in the current multitouch technology environment. This re-thinking of gesture returns to the principle of indexicality found in Peirce’s material semiotics, and develops this principle through the work of Gilles Châtelet and Gilles Deleuze around hand-eye relationships. Drawing on the work of Jürgen Streek, we propose and discuss the notion …

Transforming Professional Development: An Empirical Study to Determine the Key Aspects of Electronic Collaboration and Social Interaction in the Elementary Mathematics Teaching Community
Many recent journal articles, papers at scholarly conferences, books, monographs, and the popular media have made broad claims that online communities can support and enhance the growth of their members.However, our work suggests that most of the research that deals with the topic of online professional development is limited to statements of vision, opinion, curriculum integration ideas, and descriptions of putative benefits ascribed to the Web …
