This paper reports on a research project in mathematics education involving the use of
gesture, movement and vocal sound to highlight mathematically salient features of the …

This study is situated within a body of new work in mathematics education that involves
studies of gesture, kinesthetic learning and embodied metaphor and mathematical …

During mathematics instruction, teachers often make links between different representations
of mathematical information, and they sometimes use gestures to refer to the representations …

Spontaneous gesture produced in conjunction with speech is considered as both a source
of data about mathematical thinking, and as an integral modality in communication and …

Practices There is a growing body of research demonstrating that teachers regularly make
gestures along with their speech during instruction (eg, Alibali & Nathan, 2007). Yet, there is …

In science and math domains that are highly abstract and complex gestures produced by
both teachers and students play an important role in constructing meaning for students …

The purpose of this analysis is to examine the role of gestures within the context of a
particular setting involving mathematical discourse, specifically, an interview where students …

The purpose of the book is to establish a common language for, and understanding of,
embodiment as it applies to mathematical thinking, and to link mathematics education …

While reading the articles assembled in this volume, one cannot help asking Why gestures?
What's all the fuss about them? In the last few years, the fuss is, indeed, considerable, and …

Mathematics is a particularly notable domain in which to understand the role of body
movement for improving reasoning, instruction, and learning. One reason is that …
