Abstract

This paper presents some findings of research into the discussion between pupils in computer and non-computer environments. The research was concerned with analysing the processes whereby pairs of pupils came to make mathematical generalizations in three environments, LOGO, spreadsheet and paper and pencil. Critical decisions in the generalization process were identified in order to allow comparisons to be made across environments. The analysis reveals differences in the effects of task environment on the negotiation of the mathematical generalization particularly in relation to the part played by formalization.
