METAPHORS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS: A CASE STUDY CONCERNING INEQUALITIES

In this paper an embodied cognition perspective is considered in order to frame teaching and learning problems concerning inequalities. The nature and functions of some "grounding metaphors" are discussed, as well as the possibility of enhancing their use by students.
