Whitenack, Joy; Knipping, Nancy; Novinger, Sue

Mathematical Thinking and Learning, v3 n1 p53-85 2001

Coordinates social constructivism and socioculturalism to explain 2nd grade children's reasoning with 2-digit quantities. Illustrates how the classroom teacher and the students constituted what counted as an acceptable mathematical explanation. Concludes that local classroom mathematical practices constrained and enabled the mathematical practices of the wider society. (Contains 40 references.) (Author/ASK)
