We describe the context in which the system was developed and used and compare our approach to previous research in the field. Further, we then present two scenarios which demonstrate the system in action. Following that, we attempt to map our cases to an activity theory framework.

Yet, as Bruner (1986; 1990) and others show, narrative is a powerful cognitive and epistemological tool. The questions we wish to explore are – • If, and how, can mathematical meaning be expressed in narrative forms – without compromising rigour? • What are the narrative aspects of user interface? How can interface design be guided by notions of narrative? • How can we harness the power of narrative in teaching mathematics, in a CSCL environment?

Based on a review of the literature, a set of typologies of the domain was generated which formed the springboard for the development of over a hundred p-d patterns. These patterns are hierarchical by nature and constitute a pattern language that could be mobilised to facilitate pattern-specific communication and knowledge sharing between communities. Such patterns are, for example, shown to incorporate recurrent themes, such as scaffolding and reflection, instantiated in patterns across both design and deployment. Finally, we will set out how the patterns approach could be consolidated to become the stimulus for a much needed breakthrough in the articulation of how design needs and functionalities constitute theory in the field of designing for learning.}, added-at = {2009-08-29T17:24:49.000+0200}, author = {Pratt, Dave D. and Winters, Niall and Cerulli, Michele and Leemkuil, Henny}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2f43bab0e07f697bf2f42e58c67410e77/yish}, booktitle = {Technology-Enhanced Learning}, editor = {Balacheff, Nicolas and Ludvigsen, Sten and de Jong, Ton and Lazonder, Ard and Barnes, Sally}, interhash = {010e8686cde02ecaa42db8f0c6ee9026}, intrahash = {f43bab0e07f697bf2f42e58c67410e77}, keywords = {design designpatterns education games gmr gmx learning mathematics mathgamespatterns patterns}, pages = {215-232}, publisher = {Springer}, timestamp = {2009-08-29T17:24:49.000+0200}, title = {A Patterns Approach to Connecting the Design and Deployment of Mathematical Games and Simulations}, url = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/v63v2g2012032220/?p=3ab869de11664ad89a0bfc657f802013}, year = 2009 } @article{santos:016601, added-at = {2009-08-18T15:02:49.000+0200}, author = {Santos, T.

The Guess-my-Rule game has often been used in mathematics education at different grade levels as a way to introduce children to linear functions (see, for example, Davis, 1967, 1985; Carraher, Schliemann, \& Brizuela, 2001, 2003; Schliemann, Carraher, \& Brizuela, 2003). This activity essentially provides students with values from a function's domain (input) and the corresponding value from the range (output); based on the data, students try to infer the function. In order to play the Guess My Rule game, students must accept that: 1) each input must result in a single output; and 2) a function is consistently used for all values of the solution set, that is, the rule cannot change. --- Analysis of the classes of rules chosen by students. --- "There was some evidence that third grade students from an urban public school with a prior background in early algebra activities based on functions and modeling could begin the transition from semantically driven to syntactically driven algebraic reasoning. We would hope to see students taking part in more prolonged and in depth debates about equivalent functions and identities. Furthermore, although students may initially find persuasive the fact that two rules produce the same output from a set of input values, eventually they need to abandon this approach and move towards proving the functions are equivalent. The discussion about ¥4 ¥5 simplifying to ¥20 exemplifies this sort of shift. But graphing the data may prove useful in lending meaning to the rules and (dis)proving their equivalence. Ultimately, we want students to be able to operate on equations in ways that preserve the solution set without having to resort to thinking about the original situations that gave rise to the equations. This does not mean that students should abandon, once and for all, semantically driven reasoning, for it may prove useful in other contexts, even some that entail the use of advanced mathematical reasoning. We look forward to encountering additional research that explores the transition and tension between semantically driven and syntactically driven mathematical reasoning."}, interhash = {137706fa4d50389288ede2b787e8114f}, intrahash = {23a821c366b42e64816d5fa6744e922f}, keywords = {games gmr gmx learning mathematics mathgamespatterns mythesis}, priority = {0}, timestamp = {2008-05-30T02:25:09.000+0200}, title = {Guess My Rule Revisited}, url = {http://www2.earlyalgebra.terc.edu/our_papers/2003/Carraher_EarnestPME2003.pdf}, year = 2003 } @article{Weigand91, added-at = {2008-05-30T01:00:20.000+0200}, author = {Weigand, Hans G.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29304403554988e421ed22aa85cf7d658/yish}, citeulike-article-id = {532472}, comment = {focus on iteration sequences, a_n = f(a_n-1), and providing alternative graphical representations for them.}, interhash = {8efaa6524691adc5dcc01abe961b2471}, intrahash = {9304403554988e421ed22aa85cf7d658}, journal = {Educational Studies in Mathematics}, keywords = {gmr have ijtme2006 iteration mythesis paper scalar-functional sequences}, number = 1, pages = {411-437}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2008-05-30T01:00:20.000+0200}, title = {Iteration Sequences and their Representations}, volume = 22, year = 1991 } @article{miyazaki, added-at = {2008-01-31T23:53:26.000+0100}, author = {Miyazaki, T. and Tezuka, N.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2f65441194fea4c82ee328e68ba2c5435/srd27}, date = {Issue 3, 2 January 1995}, interhash = {7c2f16632a4f3741296bfe33c48befab}, intrahash = {f65441194fea4c82ee328e68ba2c5435}, journal = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, keywords = {GMR}, number = 3, tech = {Pages L 231-L 234 T.
