Not-knowing is an underexplored concept defined as an individual's ability to be aware of what they do not know to plan and effectively face complex situations. This paper focuses on analyzing students' articulation of not-knowing while completing geometric reasoning tasks. Results of this study revealed that not-knowing is a more cognitively…

Maheux, Jean-Francois; Roth, Wolff-Michael – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2011
Current conceptualizations of knowing and learning tend to separate the knower from others, the world they know, and themselves. In this article, we offer "relationality" as an alternative to such conceptualizations of mathematical knowing. We begin with the perspective of Maturana and Varela to articulate some of its problems and our alternative.…

Peer reviewedAvital, Shmuel; Barbeau, Edward J. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1991
Presents 13 examples in which the intuitive approach to solve the problem is often misleading. Presents analysis of these problems for five different sources of misleading intuitive generators: lack of analysis, unbalanced perception, improper analogy, improper generalization, and misuse of symmetry.
