“…On the other hand, it has been proposed that mathematical reasoning draws on nonquantitative resources (Arcavi, 1994;Case & Okamoto, 1996;Johnson, 1987;Pirie & Kieren, 1994;Presmeg, 1986;Radford, 2006;Resnick, 1992;Thompson, 1993) and that mathematical instruction is effective only to the extent that it engages multimodal imagery (Abrahamson, 2009a;Bartolini Bussi & Boni, 2003;Dewey, 1928Dewey, /2008Edwards, Radford, & Arzarello, 2009;Lemke, 1998;Nemirovsky & Borba, 2004;Papert, 1980;Presmeg, 2006). Indeed, dynamical images have been implicated as instrumental to scientific and mathematical creativity, discovery, and invention 56 ABRAHAMSON, GUTIÉRREZ, AND BADDORF (Benfey, 1958;Black, 1993;Hadamard, 1945;Poincaré 1897Poincaré /2003Schoenfeld, 1991;Steiner, 2001;Wilensky, 1997).…”
