Abstract

        The study aims to investigate learning process on addition through abstraction process from embodied to symbolic world emerged in a first grade of mathematics classroom using lesson study and open approach. David Tall’s theory of three world of mathematics was employed for analyzing the data composed with students’ written works and classroom teaching scenarios through protocol analysis. The resulted revealed that students performed their ideas on addition from mechanism of compression of symbols on the spectrum from embodied to symbolic world. Students solved the addition problems with idea of combining and increasing through counting unit and based-ten blocks showed decomposing for make ten as met-before. After that students used and refined diagram as schematic sign which developed to symbolic tool as a thinkable concept in order to solve more complex problems.
