A framework for analysing drawings as tools for mathematical reasoning
Résumé
The current paper presents a way of explaining and understanding children's drawings as tools for mathematical reasoning. The paper has two aims; to present a framework for analysing drawings as tools for problem-solving and describe how different drawings support children's mathematical reasoning in problem-solving. The study shows that drawings can offer different support for children's reasoning. Some drawings offer explicit tools to be manipulated for solving a problem. Some drawings are structuring tools, supporting systematic checking and rechecking of solutions, while others do not help solve a problem, but serve as tools for communicating with others.
