Mathematical Reasoning

Today I am talk about my favorite subjects for this semester; its name is “mathematical reasoning”. This subject is a practice in the Center for Advanced Research in Education (CIAE). We do a multidisciplinary working with different carriers; my classmates are from Beauchef (engineers), FACSO (social area), physics, educators and mathematics.

First we do a planning for a mathematics class, and then we go to some school to do that class to children. In the planning we need discuss about mathematic didactics and this discussion is very complicated because we have a different language in our carriers, but this problem is the funny part of the subject because we learn to communicate between different disciplines in function of a common goal and that is the “Children’s learning”.

We have a mandatory content, it is the “study of mathematical reasoning”, this content depends on the needs of the planning for the class, for example I’m studying about “enactive mathematics” like my second content but my classmates are studying other contents.
