The perspective of indexicality: How tool-based actions and gestures contribute to concept-building

Abstract

In this paper we apply the theoretical perspective of indexicality to gesture use on a digital place value chart on the iPad and show that this perspective allows for explaining how mathematical meaning is accumulated linking specific gestures to the actions performed on the digital devise. Thus, practical dragging leads to structural dragging via operational dragging, resulting in a shift of the representational function of gesture (gesture-of) to the epistemic function of gesture (gesture-for).
