Description/Abstract
This paper uses socio-constructivist and socio-cultural lenses to examine transcripts of pupils’ peer talk recorded while they were undertaking openended mathematical tasks in a naturalistic classroom setting. I discuss the two theoretical frames and then present episodes of peer talk from pupils
between 12 and 14 years old which demonstrate how a socio-constructivist view of the zone of proximal development is enacted, and how a sociocultural lens offers a window on social aspects of these established working groups which serve to provide the necessary support to enable all members of the group to access the mathematical knowledge being constructed.
