The Spontaneous Emergence of Elementary Number-Theoretic Concepts and Techniques in Interaction with Computing Technology [electronic resource] / Carolyn Kieran and Jose Guzman.

We present in this paper five case studies of instrumental genesis of number-theoretic concepts and techniques involving multiples, divisors, and numerical decomposition. The pupils, who were 12 to 15 years old, used the multi-line screen display of the graphing calculator to explore numerical tasks...

520 |a We present in this paper five case studies of instrumental genesis of number-theoretic concepts and techniques involving multiples, divisors, and numerical decomposition. The pupils, who were 12 to 15 years old, used the multi-line screen display of the graphing calculator to explore numerical tasks related to the "Five steps to zero" problem. The paper begins with a mathematical task analysis of various techniques that could be used to determine divisibility by 9. Findings show that the use of the technological tool permits students of this age to spontaneously develop variants of these techniques within tasks that simultaneously afford the co-emergence of related conceptual notions.
