In this paper I present the results of a study aimed at analysing the role played by the teacher in fostering an aware approach to the use of algebraic language as a tool to support problem solving. In particular, I will present the analysis of a class discussion focused on the resolution of a geometric problem that could be solved through the construction of a suitable equation. This analysis, performed referring to a theoretical construct I developed in previous studies, will enable to characterise how the teachers should try to behave when facing this kind of problem solving activities in their classes.

Abstract
In this paper I present the results of a study aimed at analysing the role played by the teacher in fostering an aware approach to the use of algebraic language as a tool to support problem solving. In particular, I will present the analysis of a class discussion focused on the resolution of a geometric problem that could be solved through the construction of a suitable equation. This analysis, performed referring to a theoretical construct I developed in previous studies, will enable to characterise how the teachers should try to behave when facing this kind of problem solving activities in their classes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
