Abstract

The purpose of the volume is to bring together both seminal and recent research on gesture and embodiment as it applies to mathematical thinking, in learners at any age. We propose that the construction of mathematics is not arbitrary or unconstrained, but rather is rooted in, and shaped by, the body.
