Abstract
The didactic triangle in which the student, the teacher and the content (mathematics) form the vertices of a triangle has been a ‘trivium’ (Goodchild and Sriraman, 2012) used to conceptualize teaching and learning in the mathematics classroom (National Research Council, 2001). Under this conceptualization, the didactic relationship is a ternary one among the student, the teacher, and the pieces of knowledge at stake (Sensevy, et al, 2005).
