Mathematical Discussion: Incoherent Exchanges or Shared Understandings?

Pirie, Susan

Language and Education, v5 n4 p273-86 1991

Previously collected data on "incoherent" episodes of pupil-pupil discussion are examined in a study of mathematical learning. They raise general points about mathematics classroom discourse and indicate the importance of understanding children's ostensibly incoherent exchanges. (28 references) (Author/LB)
