Abstract
Learning mathematics has always involved certain ways of moving the
body, often with pencils on paper. Recent technologies engages the body
in new ways, enabling learners and teacher to express and mathematics
through actions and gestures. In this talk, I will explore how theories
of embodiment are changing the way we think about mathematics learning
and even mathematics itself. I will then show how these theories can
explain the potential for multitouch digital tools to re-configure
students’ and teachers’ experiences with mathematical concepts—and in
particular, with the concept of multiplication, which represents a
turning point in the curriculum in terms of access to topics such as
ratio, proportion and algebra.
