| Title | Mathematics and the body : material entanglements in the classroom / Elizabeth de Freitas, Adelphi University, Nathalie Sinclair, Simon Fraser University. Mathematics & the Body |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xx, 261 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Learning in doing : social, cognitive and computational perspectives |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | This book explores alternative ways to consider the relationship between mathematics and the material world. Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Châtelet and the post-humanist materialism of Karen Barad, the authors present an 'inclusive materialist' approach to studying mathematics education. This approach offers a fresh perspective on human and nonhuman bodies, challenging current assumptions about the role of the senses, language, and ability in teaching and learning mathematics. Each chapter provides empirical examples from the classroom that demonstrate how inclusive materialism can be applied to a wide range of concerns in the field. The authors analyze recent studies on students' gestures, expressions, and drawings in order to establish a link between mathematical activity and mathematical concepts. Mathematics and the Body expands the landscape of research in mathematics education and will be an essential resource for teachers, students, and researchers alike. |
