摘要
Mathematical signs and symbols have a decisive role for coding, constructing and communicating mathematical knowledge. Nevertheless these mathematical signs do not already contain mathematical meaning and conceptual ideas themselves. The contribution will present basic elements of an epistemology of mathematical knowledge and then apply these theoretical ideas for analyzing case studies of two teaching episodes from elementary mathematics teaching. In this way different roles of mathematical signs as means of communication (oral function), of indicating (deictic function) and of writing (symbolic function) will be elaborated. © Springer 2006.
