Abstract

Teaching mathematical explanation is now a National Curriculum requirement in the UK, but there is little support for teachers as to how this should be done. Written explanations are often seen as little more than stylised ways of presenting answers that have come to be accepted as social norms within the mathematics community. Teachers who wish to deviate from this view, however, or explore the teaching of multimodal explanations in mathematics, are left with little guidance as to how this might be achieved, and little support in practical issues such as record keeping, marking and classroom activities. Audiographic techniques are discussed as a suitable platform upon which such research and support for teaching and learning can be built.
