Description/Abstract
A sociocultural analysis suggests that pedagogical artifacts employed in the teaching and learning of mathematics both enable and constrain learning. This paper summarises three classroom studies of mathematics learning that have utilised a sociocultural approach. Each of the studies indicates how insight can be gained into the ways in which students attempt to make sense of the mathematics they encounter.
