Other projects

‘An enactive approach to language and mathematics‘ (‘Woorden en getallen zonder franjes. Een enactieve benadering van taal en wiskunde’) is a FWO/NWO research project of prof. dr. E. Myin (University of Antwerp) and prof. dr. F.A. Muller (Erasmus University Rotterdam). The aim of this project is to extend the Enactivist approach by showing how symbolic activities, in particular language and mathematics, can arise from embodied active engagement with the social environment, which currently presents the greatest challenge to Embodied and Embedded Cognition (EEC).

Numworx is a digital mathematics platform for learning mathematics using different interactive techniques and based on the principles of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). More information…

Embodied Design Research Laboratory (EDRL) is a design-based research lab of the University of California Berkeley studying mathematical cognition and instruction by creating and evaluating theory-driven educational innovation using both traditional and cutting-edge media. More information…

TouchCounts is a research-and-development project of the Tangible Mathematics Learning Group at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, Canada). In TouchCounts software, children use their fingers, eyes and ears to learn to count, add and subtract. By using simple gestures to create and manipulate their own numbers, children develop a strong number sense. More information…

Research project MAL (‘Multimodale Algebra Lernen’, learning algebra multimodally) is a joint project lead-managed by the University of Bremen’s TZI, with partners from Didactics in Mathematics at the University of Bremen, publishing house Westermann and Ubimax. The project aims to help students by allowing them to experience and grasp concepts with various senses. More information in English…, in German…
