Beschreibung

This book aims to present some of the latest research in the didactics of space and geometry, deepen some theoretical questions and open up new reflections for discourse. Its focus is as much on the approach of geometry itself and its link with the structuring of space as it is on the practices within the classroom, the dissemination of resources, the use of different artefacts and the training of teachers in this field. We study how spatial knowledge, graphical knowledge and geometric knowledge are taken into account and articulated in the teaching of space and geometry in compulsory schools, teaching resources (programs and textbooks) and current teacher training. We question how the semiotic dimension (language, gestures and signs) of geometric activity can be taken into account, and we identify the role of artefacts (digital or tangible) in the teaching and learning of geometry. This book brings together some fifteen contributions from Frenchspeaking researchers from different countries (France, Switzerland and Canada).

Preface

Geometry is one of the oldest branches of mathematics. According to Brousseau, it “appears, through its aims, through its statements, through its methods, and through its multiple representations across the many branches of Mathematics and Science, sometimes in unexpected ways” (2000, p. 67, translated by author). Brousseau identifies in the teaching of geometry, on the one hand, a didactic means for “introducing mathematics”, in that it offers, contrary to other domains, the possibility for teachers “to elicit in their students an activity recognized as authentically mathematical by most mathematicians themselves” (ibid.), and on the other hand, as a means by which to represent space. Geometry thus appears to be an area within teaching that is still relevant today. The report of the commission on the teaching of mathematics, directed by Jean-Pierre Kahane, goes a little further and highlights four advantages to teaching geometry (Kahane 2002): to appropriate a vision of space and its representations; to learn geometrical reasoning; to be initiated into aesthetic and cultural aspects; and to have access to certain acumen that is useful across many trades. Numerous works realized over these last few years testify to the importance that the didacticians of mathematics accord with it in compulsory education.

The teaching of geometry in elementary school refers to two fields of knowledge that are intimately linked, but not to be confused (Berthelot and Salin 1993): spatial knowledge that allows us to control our relationship to the surrounding space; and geometric knowledge that allows us to solve problems involving objects in the physical, graphical or geometric space. Due to the importance of these two fields, one of the questions addressed in this book is: How is this knowledge taken into account and/or articulated in the teaching of space and geometry in compulsory education, in teaching resources (curricula, textbooks, etc.), or in current teacher training?

Moreover, the teaching of geometry in elementary school is often associated with the manipulation of instruments. However, teaching cannot be limited to a game with tangible objects, but must allow for mediation with the world of theoretical objects. This semiotic mediation is at the heart of mathematical activity, and geometry is a domain wherein the question of this mediation inevitably arises. Moreover, a geometric activity brings into play the language register and the graphical register (in particular that of figures), which must be articulated (Duval 2005). The language activity is also coordinated alongside a physical activity, for figures that must be traced or modified, with instruments or by freehand. Gestures also have a special place in the geometric activity itself. Therefore, the second line of questioning is as follows: How to take into account this semiotic dimension (language, gestures, signs, etc.) of geometric activity? What is the role of artifacts (digital or tangible) in the teaching and learning of geometry?

This book aims to present some of the latest research in the didactics of space and geometry, to deepen some theoretical questions and to open up new reflections for discourse, as much on the approach of geometry itself and its connection with the structuring of space, as on practices within the classroom, the dissemination of resources, the use of different artifacts or the training of teachers on this subject. It mobilizes about 15 contributions from French-speaking researchers based in different parts of the world (France, Switzerland, Quebec). It is organized into three main parts, which we present in the following.

Part 1 deals with the articulations between tangible space, graphic space and geometrical space. The contribution of Anne-Cécile Mathé and Marie-Jeanne Perrin-Glorian explores possible continuities between physical geometry and theoretical geometry through a figure reproduction task for pupils at the end of French elementary school (9–11-year-olds). Continuing on from this, Karine Viéque's text deals with the question of choosing the values for the didactic variables (geometrical and physical) in the elaboration of shape reproduction problems at the beginning of French elementary school (6–8-year-old students), in order to develop different understandings of plane shapes, in terms of visualization and deconstruction Valentina Celi focuses on early geometric learning in kindergarten (3–6-year-olds). She presents the first results of an ongoing research-action, in which problems concerning geometric shapes are tested, from manipulation to graphical tracing, from the global understanding of shapes to a more analytical understanding of them, by articulating visual and haptic modalities and by progressively introducing an appropriate lexicon. Sylvia Coutat's work deals with the representation of geometric properties in the graphical register by proposing avenues for reflecting through the introduction of coding geometric properties in elementary school. Finally, Céline Vendeira-Maréchal questions the impact and relevance of using freehand drawing in construction/reproduction tasks with 8- to 10-year-olds, in particular, to free them from the manipulative constraints implied by geometric instruments.

Part 2 is devoted to resources and artifacts for teaching. Three chapters deal with digital resources, two others with teaching proposals. Teresa Assude shows how a dynamic geometry software can be a tool through which to work on the relations between tangible space, graphical space and geometric space. Emilie Mari's contribution deals with the impact of using programmable floor robots on the development of spatial and geometrical knowledge in French elementary school, among 6–8-year-old students. Fabien Emprin and Edith Petitfour present, within the framework of instrument construction problems, a possible exploitation for dyspraxic pupils and the possibilities offered by a human interaction simulator for geometric learning. Concerning teaching resources, Jacques Douaire, Fabien Emprin and Henri-Claude Argaud propose a presentation on the evolution of the research questions by the ERMEL team, concerning the drawing of straight lines and discovering the characteristics of plane shapes and solids, by explaining an analysis of the knowledge of 6- to 8-year-old pupils as well as the proposed problems. Elements on the implementation of situations as well as on the progression and structuring of the resource are also discussed. Finally, Claire Guille-Biel Winder and Edith Petitfour try to determine what could enlighten, from a didactic point of view, the choice of textbooks in the framework of geometry teaching, by analyzing the proposals for teaching the notions of perpendicularity and parallelism in fourth grade (9–10-year-olds).

Part 3 of the book focuses on teaching practices and training issues. At the intersection between resource development, practice and training, Christine Mangiante-Orsola studies the process of appropriation, by three teachers, of a situation developed during a research project on the teaching of geometry from third grade to fifth grade (8–11-year-olds), and then questions the possibilities for enriching teaching practices. Next, two contributions focus on teaching practices. Sylvie Blanquart conducts a clinical analysis of the same sequence of shape reproduction in fifth grade (10–11-year-olds) and in sixth grade (11–12-year-olds), with the aim of identifying how, in the progress of their teaching project in plane geometry, teachers integrate (or not) the valid or erroneous reasoning implemented explicitly or implicitly by the students. Karine Millon-Fauré, Catherine Mendonca Dias, Céline Beaugrand and Christophe Hache are interested in the discourse of the mathematics teacher, when they employ a term used by vernacular language instead of the appropriate term from the geometry lexicon. In their contribution, Patricia Marchand and Caroline Bisson describe and analyze a teaching sequence aimed at developing spatial knowledge that is deployed over the first three cycles of schooling. They then address the issues of initial training, since this same sequence was adapted and experimented with students in training, with both mathematical and didactic objectives. Finally, Ismail Mili is interested in the professional knowledge mobilized by teachers in training, and provides an example concerning the mobilization of a priori analysis in the implementation of a space structuring activity.
