Description:
Proficiency in mathematics has long been described as the ability to fluently move between different ways of interpreting and representing mathematical concepts. This session will outline a semiotic-based approach that treats mathematical concepts as a combination of patterns of semantic relations that contextualizes the content within a set of social practices.
