Badillo, Edelmira; Font, Vicenç; Edo, Mequè – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2015
We analyze the mathematical solutions of 7- to 8-year-old pupils while individually solving an arithmetic problem. The analysis was based on the "configuration of objects," an instrument derived from the onto-semiotic approach to mathematical knowledge. Results are illustrated through a number of cases. From the analysis of mathematical…
