Resumo(s)
The instructional models taught in class were similar to the students' models. The
teachers addressed angle as a basic-level category, discussed its submodels, clarified the
boundaries, and established cognitive reference points. They gradually increased the use
of complex metaphors and of several models.
The study enriched the characterization of the first two levels of van Hiele theory and
demonstrated the value of categorization theory in understanding how our comprehension
of mathematics is rooted in basic human attributes pertaining to the material and social
conditions of human life. The embodiment of mathematical ideas by the material world,
including our bodies, needs greater emphasis in all facets of mathematics education.
