In this paper we study gender equality in the context of students’ group work in mathematics at tertiary level. We use a specific framework, combining the Anthropological Theory of the Didactics and the Joint Action Theory of the Didactics, to examine students’ interactions and their roles in a group in relation with the knowledge at stake. Analysing the case of three students in the context of a project-based course, we investigate epistemic symmetry (the equivalence of the roles) according to the students’ gender at the macro-level of this course, the meso-level of a session and the micro-level of a given episode. We observe differences at each of these levels in terms of tasks and of gestures performed by each student.
