Try to See It My Way: The Discursive Function of Idiosyncratic Mathematical Metaphor
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Abrahamson, Dor; Gutierrez, Jose F.; Baddorf, Anna K. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2012
What are the nature, forms, and roles of metaphors in mathematics instruction? We present and closely analyze three examples of idiosyncratic metaphors produced during one-to-one tutorial clinical interviews with 11-year-old participants as they attempted to use unfamiliar artifacts and procedures to reason about realistic probability problems.…
