Diàleg entre iguals a l'aula. Eina per a la construcció del coneixement matemàtic

The building of mathematical knowledge implies
that the students establish the appropriate
connections between the new knowledge and their
prior knowledge, connecting them with their
personal network of thought. The learning process
that can occur in a classroom is determined by the
type of teaching of mathematics devised. We start
from the principle that all people know
mathematics, can learn mathematics and are able
to communicate their ideas to others. Dialogue
among peers is a powerful tool to accomplish the
building of mathematical knowledge in the
classroom. To facilitate such dialogue certain
conditions are necessary (related to the high-level
goals to be achieved, tasks and their enrichment,
teacher's interventions, the treatment of errors and
the role of contrast, etc.). In the math classroom we
also need to help learning how to dialogue.
