Abstract

Every process of written mathematical argumentation, requires a high level of management of semiotic records, articulating semantic structures capable of meaning. This manuscript shows the results of the research project entitled “Analysis and interpretation of semiotics in the processes of mathematical argumentation, written by the 9th grade students of the Gonzalo Rivera Laguado School in Cúcuta”, the study was assumed from theories surrounding the semiotics and mathematical argumentation, proposed by Peirce, Bachelard, Vygotsky and Duval. The research was developed under the quantitative methodology with a descriptive scope. The esults showed that in the analyzed processes of written mathematica argumentation, the argument loses its strength and relevance due to the inappropriate use of semiotic resources, evidencing conceptual gaps that generate epistemological gaps in mathematical knowledge.
