The focus of the paper is the analysis of written argumentation in solving logical-linguistic riddles by 6th and 7th grade students. This is part of a larger path dealing with the introduction of some logical contents, in which all the activities are immersed in a narrative framework. In analyzing students’ productions, we pay great attention to the interplay between logical-scientific thinking and narrative thinking, with the awareness that a rigorous mathematical argumentation can be obtained only at the end of a path starting from different, often not rigorous, forms of reasoning.

Abstract

The focus of the paper is the analysis of written argumentation in solving logical-linguistic riddles by 6th and 7th grade students. This is part of a larger path dealing with the introduction of some logical contents, in which all the activities are immersed in a narrative framework. In analyzing students’ productions, we pay great attention to the interplay between logical-scientific thinking and narrative thinking, with the awareness that a rigorous mathematical argumentation can be obtained only at the end of a path starting from different, often not rigorous, forms of reasoning.
