摘要

Research suggests that understanding new images of mathematics is verychallenging and can contribute to teacher resistance. An explicit exploration of personalviews of mathematics may be necessary for pedagogical change. One possible way forexploring these images is through mathematical metaphors. As metaphors focus on sim-ilarities, they can be used to express already-held perceptions about the nature ofmathematics. In addition to providing a way of talking about current views of mathematics,the analogous dimensions of metaphors can prompt new ways of thinking about theseimages. In this article, I consider the use of metaphors as a strategy for explicating ele-mentary teachers' views of mathematics. I claim that the investigation of metaphors ofmathematics helped create a shared communicative space and enhanced the quality of thediscussion with the teachers. In particular, our exploration of the metaphor mathematics isa language encouraged a consideration of the humanistic dimensions of mathematics andcontributed to a varied re-imaging of mathematics.
