6- Body-Based Examples When Exploring Conjectures: Embodied Resources and Mathematical Proof

Monday, April 15, 2013: 5:30 PM-6:45 PM
Lobby A (Colorado Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Muhammed Fatih Dogan
Co-speakers:
Caroline Williams and Candace Walkington


Description of Presentation:

We use theories of embodied cognition to extend typical conceptions of example-based reasoning. Students can generate and test examples by using their bodies, and these powerful “embodied” examples are especially well positioned to support the development of general proofs that go beyond particular instances.
