Abstract [en]

The aim of this paper is to investigate the mathematical discourse, as communicated by textbooks, during the introduction phase of early years mathematics education, and to identify how it changes over this short period of time. While textbooks play a central role in communicating this discourse, less is known about how the discourse as communicated by textbooks changes during the introduction phase, i.e., the first months of school. We use commognitive concepts to examine part of the discourse, specifically routines and visual mediators, of the first 100 tasks in three textbooks for Grade 1 in Sweden. Our findings reveal a rapid increase in the routine of re-organization and the use of symbols as visual mediators, implying a swift change from a discourse characterised by colloqu

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka den matematiska diskursen, såsom den kommuniceras via läroböcker, under introduktionsfasen i den tidiga matematikundervisningen, samt att identifiera hur den förändras under denna korta tidsperiod. Även om läroböcker spelar en central roll i att förmedla denna diskurs, är det mindre känt hur den förändras just under introduktionsfasen, det vill säga de första månaderna i skolan. Vi använder kommognitiva begrepp ur för att analysera delar av diskursen, särskilt rutiner och visuella medierare, i de första 100 uppgifterna i tre svenska läroböcker för årskurs 1. Resultaten visar en snabb ökning av omorganiserande rutiner och användningen av symboler som visuella medierare, vilket tyder på en snabb övergång från en diskurs präglad av vardagliga visuella uttryck och spirande rutiner till en mer formell matematisk diskurs.
