Fernandes, Anthony; Kahn, Leslie H.; Civil, Marta – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
In this article, we use multimodality to examine how bilingual students interact with an area task from the National Assessment of Educational Progress in task-based interviews. Using vignettes, we demonstrate how some of these students manipulate the concrete materials, and use gestures, as a primary form of structuring their explanations and…
