| | MATHEMATICS IN THE MIDDLE: |
| | Mathematics can be identified by the kinds of meanings it makes: meanings about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; about numerical difference and equality; about geometrical relationships of parallelism, orthogonality, similarity, congruence, tangency, etc., and many more in mathematical history. | | | Mathematics' extension of the meaning resources of natural languages begins with the growth of the system of natural numbers (the counting integers) from the first few, to the first few dozen, to hundreds, thousands, and higher. | | | The reason mathematics had to reason about quantitative relationships in quasi-linguistic ways was most fundamentally so that mathematics could embed itself in the logical semantics of natural language reasoning, and historically, because the advance of mathematics was driven to such a large degree by its practical applications. |

| | Title |
| | One might assume that since many PSTs are mathematics majors in college, helping them fix the gaps in their knowledge of division of fractions—a mathematics topic that is typically taught for the first time in elementary school, but is nonetheless reviewed repeatedly in junior high and high school—would be a relatively quick and easy task. | | | This study examines the mathematical understandings of the eight PSTs for clues as to why understanding nonstandard reasoning was so difficult for them, even after receiving substantial instruction to develop rich conceptions of division of fractions. | | | All eight subjects were either juniors or seniors majoring in mathematics, and typically had two or fewer math courses remaining to take before graduation. |
