Walkington, Candace; Chelule, Geoffrey; Woods, Dawn; Nathan, Mitchell J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Gestures have been shown to play a key role in mathematical reasoning and to be an indicator that mathematical understanding is "embodied" -- inherently linked to action, perception, and the physical body. As learners collaborate and engage in mathematical discussions, they use discourse practices like explaining, refuting, and building…
