Abstract

Technology enables mathematical objects requiring new modes of student interaction - for example, the exploratory power of spreadsheets. In addition to their novelty in the elementary classroom, spreadsheets can draw increased efficacy from prior embodiment as hands-on experiences that are easily experienced in elementary mathematics classrooms. In this paper, the use of frame-based data tables will be explored as a mediational tool enabling such experiences to be successfully transmitted to the spreadsheet environment. Serving to record and format initial experience into rows and columns, these data tables prove to be an excellent device to mediate initial raw experience into spreadsheets.
