Co-Creation Of Classroom Language: Supporting Learners To Develop Expressions Of Uncertainty And Statistical Concepts, Jioo Nimkar, Nayanatara Ruth Gautham Feb 2027

Co-Creation Of Classroom Language: Supporting Learners To Develop Expressions Of Uncertainty And Statistical Concepts, Jioo Nimkar, Nayanatara Ruth Gautham

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This qualitative study explored how Grade 4 students and the researcher co-created language to express statistical concepts in a multilingual Indian classroom during a week-long instructional sequence. The analysis draws on a situated socio-cultural perspective on language in mathematics. Students’ language progressed from simple claims to more refined and sophisticated expressions, enabling them to discuss central tendencies and distributions while acknowledging uncertainty. Co-created phrases such as āsapās reshā (the nearby line) not only supported communication but also deepened reasoning. The article also discusses what role scaffolding played in refining these informal resources.


Linguistic And Conceptual Transfer: Crosslinguistic Translanguaging In The English-French Bilingual Mathematics Classroom In The Uk, Jo Skelton, Jane Spiro Feb 2027

Linguistic And Conceptual Transfer: Crosslinguistic Translanguaging In The English-French Bilingual Mathematics Classroom In The Uk, Jo Skelton, Jane Spiro

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This paper presents the findings of a study, conducted as part of a PhD thesis, exploring ways in which translanguaging can be used to support the development of conceptual understanding of division. The study focused on 18 8-9-year-old pupils learning mathematics through the instructional languages of English and French in an ‘immersion-style’ bilingual education context in England. The data was collected from four consecutive mathematics lessons focusing on division, the first two taught through English by a monolingual English teacher and the second two taught in French by a bilingual French teacher. Both teachers were interviewed directly following their second …


Pre-Service Teachers’ Noticing Of The Function Of Mathematical Naming In The Teaching Of Fractions, Juan Manuel González-Forte, Núria Planas Feb 2027

Pre-Service Teachers’ Noticing Of The Function Of Mathematical Naming In The Teaching Of Fractions, Juan Manuel González-Forte, Núria Planas

The Mathematics Enthusiast

In this paper, we present the rationale and results of a study conducted with 79 pre-service primary-school teachers on their sensitivities to notice the pedagogic function of naming practices in the language of teaching fractions. Our results are a contribution to noticing research on mathematics teacher education and language. Although participants were not familiar with discussions of the language of teaching mathematics in general and the language of teaching fractions in particular, they engaged in an intervention with a professional task that provided opportunities to notice potential relationships between mathematical naming and the conceptual understanding of fractions. The written answers …


From Words To Worlds: Concluding Reflections And Emerging Directions, Jenni Ingram, Núria Planas, David Pimm Feb 2027

From Words To Worlds: Concluding Reflections And Emerging Directions, Jenni Ingram, Núria Planas, David Pimm

The Mathematics Enthusiast

In concluding the second series of eight articles in the double special issue on ‘Engaging with communication and language in relation to mathematics and its education’, we take the opportunity to reflect across the articles to prompt us all to consider potential and emerging directions for future research. This final article is overall a commentary inspired by the communication-centred and language-centred contributions to mathematics education across the entire collection of articles, that is, all those comments that situate mathematics and its education as language and communication praxis. We explore this relationship between mathematics and its education with communication and language …


Teachers’ Knowledge And Use Of Mathematics Register For Teaching And Communication, Pauline Tiong, Sheena Tan Feb 2027

Teachers’ Knowledge And Use Of Mathematics Register For Teaching And Communication, Pauline Tiong, Sheena Tan

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Research has progressively considered a resource-oriented rather than a deficit-based approach towards understanding the role of language in helping students learn mathematical concepts. Notably, there has been a call for greater attention to the notion of mathematics teaching talk, which focuses on teachers’ use of language as a resource to teach mathematics (and the language of mathematics). It is argued that mathematics teaching talk plays an important role in enabling teachers to communicate mathematical ideas or meanings of mathematical concepts and in turn, preparing students to participate better in mathematical discourse practices. Specifically, this paper seeks to exemplify what teachers …


Affectivity As A Form Of Communication During Interactions Between Parent, Child, And Touchcounts, Qiang Lin Feb 2027

Affectivity As A Form Of Communication During Interactions Between Parent, Child, And Touchcounts, Qiang Lin

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This qualitative study examines communication in family mathematics settings, focusing on how embodied communication is constituted during parent–child interaction with a multitouch technology application, TouchCounts. Moving beyond information–transmission perspectives, the study adopts an embodied and relational approach centered on affectivity—conceptualized as the circulation of attunement, resonance, and intensity of movement and feeling across human and non-human components of the parent–child–TouchCounts assemblage. Drawing on close qualitative analysis of two selected video-recorded excerpts, the study traces how mathematical events unfold moment by moment through bodily action and material engagement, and how affective flow shapes how participants respond to one …


Book Review: Irrationality, Transcendence And The Circle-Squaring Problem: An Annotated Translation Of J. H. Lambert’S Vorläufige Kenntnisse And Mémoire (2nd Ed.), Bharath Sriraman Feb 2027

Book Review: Irrationality, Transcendence And The Circle-Squaring Problem: An Annotated Translation Of J. H. Lambert’S Vorläufige Kenntnisse And Mémoire (2nd Ed.), Bharath Sriraman

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This review examines Irrationality, Transcendence and the Circle-Squaring Problem (2nd ed., 2024) by Eduardo Dorrego López and Elías Fuentes Guillén, offering the first complete annotated English translations of Johann Heinrich Lambert’s two foundational texts on the irrationality of π: the semi-popular Vorläufige Kenntnisse (1766/1770) and the rigorous Mémoire (1761/1768). The review situates these translations within Lambert’s remarkable and largely underappreciated life—a self-taught polymath who rose from a tailor’s workshop in Mulhouse to the Berlin Academy of Sciences—and gives careful attention to the proof of irrationality of π via continued fractions, placing it in dialogue with the Niven–Hermite integral approach, the …


Book Review: Mathematical Geography In The Eighteenth Century: Euler, Lagrange And Lambert, Bharath Sriraman Feb 2027

Book Review: Mathematical Geography In The Eighteenth Century: Euler, Lagrange And Lambert, Bharath Sriraman

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This review examines Mathematical Geography in the Eighteenth Century: Euler, Lagrange and Lambert, edited by Renzo Caddeo and Athanase Papadopoulos (Springer, 2022), a volume bringing together ten historical and mathematical essays alongside complete English translations of six foundational memoirs on cartography by Euler (four), Lagrange (one), and Lambert (one). The review assesses the volume’s mathematical depth across its core topics: Euler’s system of differential equations establishing the non-existence of perfect maps, the derivation of the Mercator and conformal projections via partial differential equations, Lagrange’s introduction of the Cauchy–Riemann equations and holomorphic functions into cartographic theory, and Lambert’s construction of …

Shadows Of Salem: Recovered Memories In The Sandusky Case, Stewart Justman Jul 2026

Shadows Of Salem: Recovered Memories In The Sandusky Case, Stewart Justman

Global Humanities and Religions Faculty Publications

In 2012 the former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of the sexual abuse of children.  However, none of his accusers accused him of anything until Victim 1, Aaron Fisher, entered treatment with a psychologist who diagnosed him at first sight as a victim of sexual abuse. The psychologist denied that he engaged in recovered-memory therapy. The record suggests otherwise. If a competent defense had shown at trial that the psychologist practiced on Victim 1 the same mode of therapy he rejected out of hand, the case against Sandusky might have collapsed, much as the …
