How does a teacher sustain collective mathematizing among non-dominant students?. 14th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-14) 2021. East China Normal University, Shanghai, China.978-981-12-8714-5https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/73913In this paper, we describe a teacher’s attempt to sustain collective mathematizing among non- dominant students in a classroom that emphasizes collective success. Taking a collectivist stance, we conceptualize the featured classroom as one in which the students function as a single learning organism. We analyze three roles that the teacher played within a lesson focused on students’ engagement with repeating patterns. Specifically, we discuss the affordances of the three roles with respect to sustaining three characteristics of a classroom that functions as a single learning organism.CC BY-NC© 2024 International Commission on Mathematical Instructionhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/conference10.1142/9789811287152_0075c-conference-paper
