Esther Henschen et al., « Sociomathematical norms in peer-cultures in free play situations in kindergarten », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'éducation, ID : 10670/1.9tu4tn
Interactions between peers in play take up much of children’s time in kindergarten. It can be assumed that the norms that children establish in the interactive negotiations during play are just as crucialfor them as the norms that they re-construct in their interplay with parents and professionals. While the interactions between adults and children and the (sociomathematical) norms they negotiate in kindergarten discourses have increasingly become the focus of research in mathematics education, the emerging norms between peers and their peer culture of doing mathematics in play have gone largely unnoticed. Taking this as its starting point, it is identified in the article how such a play cultureof doing mathematics is established in free block play situations in kindergarten and which norms emerge in this culture. The analyses show that the shared norms for the construction of buildings in play are central to the establishment of sociomathematical norms.
