We present epistemological ruptures that have occurred in mathematical history and in the transformation of using technology in mathematics education in the twenty-first century. We describe how such changes establish a new form of digital semiotics that challenges learning paradigms and mathematical inquiry for learners today. We focus on drawing analogies between the emergence of non-Euclidean geometry with recent advances in technological environments that are dynamic and interactive both…

The emerging and emergent present: a view on the indeterminate nature of mathematics lessons

The notion of emergence has considerable currency in mathematics education. However, the notion tends to be used in a descriptive way rather than being theorized and developed as a phenomenon sui…

From static to dynamic mathematics: historical and representational perspectives

The evolution of symbolic thinking over time is analyzed, from static notations to dynamic inscriptions in new technologies, and new perspectives on Kaput’s theory of notations and representations as mediators of constructive processes are concluded.

Semiotics in mathematics education : epistemology, history, classroom, and culture

Current interest in semiotics is undoubtedly related to our increasing awareness that our manners of thinking and acting in our world are deeply indebted to a variety of signs and sign systems…
