Unpacking Mathematical Thinking: The Case of Describing and Explaining Thinking
Kate Quane; Helen Booth
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v28 n2 p21-28 2023
The authors define two mathematical cognitive verbs which are fundamental to the development of mathematical thinking and reasoning. They distinguish between 'describing' and 'explaining' in relation to doing mathematics, rather than using them interchangeably.
