Modal continuity in Deaf students’ signed mathematical discourse

Mathematics Education Across Cultures: Proceedings of the 42nd Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
Despite numerous studies pointing to the delay in mathematical achievement of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students as compared to their hearing peers (e.g., Traxler, 2000; Pagliaro & Kritzer, 2013), only little is known about the peculiarities of mathematical learning processes of DHH learners. At the same time, studies both in psycholinguistics

What Makes a Sign a Mathematical Sign? – An Epistemological Perspective on Mathematical Interaction

Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
Mathematical signs and symbols have a decisive role for coding, constructing and communicating mathematical knowledge. Nevertheless these mathematical signs do not already contain mathematical meaning and conceptual ideas themselves. The contribution will present basic elements of an epistemology of mathematical knowledge and then apply these ...

Teaching Mathematics Vocabulary with an Interactive Signing Math Dictionary [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Research on Technology in Education, 2013
AbstractState frameworks and national standards are explicit about the mathematics content that students must master at each grade level. Although the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the No Child Left Behind Act mandate that students who are deaf or hard of hearing and communicate in sign language have access to this content, evidence ...

A mathematical theory of sign-mediated concept formation

Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2008
Cognitive theories of concept formation have usually ignored the fact that, as a natural part of their cognitive development, people form concepts through the linguistic mediation of signs. In this paper, we propose a mathematical theory of sign-mediated concept formation (SMCF).

The functional use of a mathematical sign

Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2004
The question of how a mathematics student at university-level makes sense of a new mathematical sign, presented to her or him in the form of a definition, is a fundamental problem in mathematics education. Using an analogy with Vygotsky's theory (1986, 1994) of how a child learns a new word, I argue that a learner uses a new mathematical sign both as ...

A Natural Interface for Sign Language Mathematics

2006
The general goal of our research is the creation of a natural and intuitive interface for input and recognition of American Sign Language (ASL) math signs. The specific objective of this work is the development of two new interfaces for the Mathsignertm application.

Mathematical Signs and Their Cultural Transmission in Pretend Play

2020
Mathematics is a critical aspect of early childhood curricula and integral to competency in all STEM subjects. Developed historically, the abstract symbolic language of mathematics is a powerful cultural phenomenon. Using a genetic approach to research the beginning mathematical inscriptions of 3-4-year-olds has highlighted their meaning-based symbol ...
