SANCHA, Inés  e  BROITMAN, Claudia. The transformation of mathematical knowledge in writing situations related to the institutionalization process. Educ. mat. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.1, pp.11-37.  Epub 06-Dez-2021. ISSN 2448-8089.  https://doi.org/10.24844/em3201.02.

This article contains the main ideas of an investigation centered in the analysis of the functioning of certain writing situations developed in Math classes with the purpose of explaining, reorganizing and systematizing knowledge that circulated during the resolution of the problems. The investigation is done through the implementation and further analysis of a Math didactic sequence regarding Rational Numbers in a fifth year classroom, primary level. The institutionalization process developed throughout the sequence involves diverse oral, reading and writing exchanges. Among them we specifically studied in what way the writing process upon the resolution of the problems contributes to the conceptualization of math. As a starting point we assumed that knowledge is transformed in writing situations connected to the institutionalization process and our main question is referred to the way in which such transformation occurs.
