Gesturing and Image Making: Growing Mathematics Understanding
in education, v28 n2 p2-20 Spr 2023
This article explores the role that gestures play in the development of mathematical understanding. Using Pirie Kieren's (1994) notion of image making and Lunney Borden's (2011) idea of verbing mathematics, we share two examples of how students respond to teacher requests to demonstrate what they know about arrays.
