In addressing the question, \u201cHow do learners make sense of and coordinate meanings across multiple representations of mathematical ideas?\u201d they took an enactivist\u00a0perspective and used tools of semiotics to analyze the ways they navigated the dissonance that arose as they sought to achieve harmony in meanings across multiple representations of ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctoral student, Denish Akuom, along with his supervisor, Dr. Steven Greenstein, presented his paper, \u201cProspective Mathematics Teachers\u2019 Designed Manipulatives as Anchors for Their Pedagogical and Conceptual Knowledge,\u201d at this year\u2019s PMENA conference in Philadelphia.
