Dr Sedaghatjou describes her presentation as follows:

In this presentation, I shared my findings from one of my studies that explored how when a group of young children come together to engage in negotiation about mathematical ideas and activities as they draw on each other’s cultural experiences for a shared understanding of mathematical meanings. This study considers how mobile technologies, along with children’s collaborative engagements, can enhance mathematical learning. We adapted the theory of touchscreen-based interactions and utilized StudioCode software to better understand children’s collaborative practices and how they engage in mathematical activity using touchscreen-based devices. Our ideas emerge from children’s use of an iPad application called TouchCounts, which aims to develop number.
