This lecture reports on aspects of a larger research programme focused on studying mental mathematics in elementary and secondary mathematics classrooms. It specifically addresses an unplanned aspect that became salient through the work conducted in these classrooms. In this research programme, mental mathematics sessions are designed on a variety…

This study on the mental solving of systems of linear equations is part of a larger research program, aimed to gain a better understanding of the potential of mental mathematics activities with topics/objects other than numbers. Through outlining the study details and the activities engaged with, the paper reports on the variety of strategies…

This study is part of a larger research program aimed at studying mental mathematics with objects other than numbers. It concerns operations on functions in a graphical environment with Grade-11 students. Grounded in the enactivist theory of cognition, particularly in problem-posing, the study aims to characterize students' mathematical activity…
