Enacting genericity: Coming to see the general in the particular while proving with manipulatives, diagrams, and symbols

2026-01-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>A pervasive form of mathematical reasoning involves using a specific instance to draw conclusions about a general class. In mathematics education, researchers have conceptualized this practice as reasoning with “generic examples” and proposed it as a scaffold supporting students’ transition from informal exploration to the construction of proofs. Whereas existing research has largely in...
