Abstract

The central goal of this working group is to study the possibility of bringing the body and embodiment into instrumental approaches to the use of digital technology in mathematics education. After two short introductions into instrumental views and the issue of embodiment, the participants will analyse a small data set using aspects of these perspectives. Opportunities and constraints of combining approaches for the sake of relating instruments and the body in mathematics education will be discussed. As a possible next step, the option of writing a joint research paper will be explored.
