Multimodal Proof in Arithmetic
This theoretical paper develops further the concept of multimodal proof from the perspective of the multimodal paradigm, phenomenology and Luis Radford’s theory of knowledge objectification. The study of such proof is motivated by its possible use in mathematics education, especially in school, but possibly also with adult students.
We discuss one type of generic multimodal proof in arithmetic using a proof principle called schematic generalisation. It is argued that this type of proof both can establish truth in arithmetic and give phenomenologically explanations.
