Résumé

Multiplicative thinking is much more than recalling number facts. Furthermore, it is much more than repeated addition. It is about links and relationships and knowing how multiplicative ideas are connected and why multiplicative grouping processes work as they do. Supporting this conceptual understanding of multiplication among underachieving primary school children is the goal of a single-case intervention study presented in this paper. These children were fostered in a language sensitive way placing emphasis on the relationship of different multiplicative representations and a meaning-related vocabulary associated with this operation. The in-depth analysis of an individual learning trajectory of a low-achieving child shows that the progress may depend on whether and to what extend the meaning-related vocabulary becomes the vocabulary of thinking for these children.
