Titre de la séance: Enseigner les mathématiques aux enfants : sens et support
Résumé:
Teaching math - e.g. numbers - to young children faces an insistent question : what are the difficulties which prevent some of them to understand obvious (at the eyes of the teacher) facts such that 5 + 3 = 11 ? Reminiscent of an ancient experience in the domain - in the line of my present interest for natural language semantics - I shall argue for the theoretical interest of considering the properties of the representational media used, whether written or with the help of an other material mean than paper. In conclusion, I shall try to understand how properties of the digital support could affect, in the long time, our view of teaching math at this level.
