Negotiation of Mathematical Meaning and Learning Mathematics.
Voigt, Jorg
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v26 n2-3 p275-98 Mar 1994
Presents a case study of a first-grade class and their teacher who were observed as they ascribed mathematical meanings of numbers and of numerical operations to empirical phenomena. Differences in ascriptions led to negotiation of meanings. Discusses some indirect relations between social interaction and mathematics learning. (Contains 60 references.) (MKR)
