Aljarrah, Ayman; Towers, Jo – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
In this article, we show how students' productive struggle on a mathematical task can lead to collective mathematical creativity. We use observable (co)actions and interactions from a video record that features three Grade 6 students in a problem-solving session to document the emergence of collective creativity leading to a mathematical solution.…

Towers, Jo; Martin, Lyndon C. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
In this paper, we trace the development of our theorizing about students' mathematical understanding, showing how the adoption of an enactivist perspective has transformed our gaze in terms of the objects of our studies and occasioned for us new methods of data analysis. Drawing on elements of Pirie-Kieren (P-K) Theory for the Dynamical Growth of…
