Gesturing and Image Making: Growing Mathematics Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article explores the role that gestures play in development of mathematical understanding. Using Pirie Kieren’s notion image making and Lunney Borden’s idea verbing mathematics, we share two examples how students respond to teacher requests demonstrate what they know about arrays. Keywords: making, gesturing, mathematics

Mathematics of Random Growing Interfaces
We establish a thermodynamic limit and Gaussian fluctuations for the height and surface width of the random interface formed by the deposition of particles on surfaces. The results hold for the standard ballistic deposition model as well as the surface relaxation model in the off-lattice setting. The results are proved with the aid of general limit theorems for stabilizing functionals of marked...
متن کاملMaking Mathematics Fun , Accessible , and
The theme of this year's conference is “Making Mathematics Fun, Accessible and Challenging through Technology”. Version 6 of Mathematica, released in May 2007, is instantly interactive, allowing teachers and students to easily construct live interfaces to illustrate and investigate mathematical concepts at all levels [1]. Over 2000 examples of these interactive capabilities, including a number ...

متن کاملMaking Music with Mathematics
Have you ever wondered how to bring music into your mathematics lessons? Music can be a rich context for facilitating mathematical connections. However, for those of us who are not musically inclined, encouraging mathematical connections through music can seem overwhelming. The following tasks are a way to bring music into your classroom with rewarding results. I have used these mathematics tas...
متن کاملIconic gesturing in bonobos
We comment on a recent behavioral study in which we describe a human-like beckoning gesture in 2 groups of bonobos, used in combination with sexual solicitation postures. The beckoning gesture fulfils key criteria of deixis and iconicity, in that it communicates to a distant recipient the desired travel path in relation to a specific social intention, i.e., to have sex at another location. We d...
