19- Mathematical Discourse: Applying Genre Analysis of Narrative to Problem Solving

Monday, April 13, 2015: 5:45 PM-6:45 PM
Grand Ballroom C/D (Westin - Boston Waterfront)

 

Lead Speaker:
Janet M. Liston


Description of Presentation:

Language is the principal resource for making meaning through mathematical discourse. However, preservice teachers (PTs) often find the specialized language of mathematics challenging. Using narrative genre analysis, this study reports the ways that language choices of secondary PTs impacted elementary PTs’ sense-making of whole number division.
