" Miss, you're talking crazy talk again!" My students would sometimes say this to me during
the ten years I taught sec-ondary mathematics in a Mi'kmaw [1] community school in Cape …

This study investigates young students' writing in connection to mathematical problem
solving. Students' written communication has traditionally been used by mathematics …

A model of reading comprehension of geometric proofs (RCGP) has recently been proposed
by the authors. This article further investigates students' development of such …

In this paper, we propose an analytic tool for describing the mathematics made available to
learn in a 'textbook lesson'. The tool is an adaptation of the Mathematics Discourse in …

Mathematical diagrams are part and parcel of mathematics. They were used in ancient
civilisations such as Old Babylon four thousand years ago (Robson 2008) and were an …
