Abstract [en]

The aim of this paper is to explore students mathematical and ethical reasoning in fair sharing tasks. In our study, 8-year-old students were asked to share eight biscuits between three soft toys, where one of the toys is hungry and sad. Two analytical frameworks were used, one for mathematical reasoning and one for ethical reasoning. The results show that sharing tasks can generate several solutions in which students use different mathematical arguments combined with ethical arguments. Another result is that the different argument soften interplay with, or depend on, each other, meaning that mathematical reasoning and ethical reasoning are intertwined.

Abstract [fr]

L'objectif de cet article est d'explorer le raisonnement mathématique et éthique des élèves dans les tâches de partage équitable. Dans notre étude, il a été demandé à des élèves de 8 ans de partager huit biscuits entre trois peluches, l'une des peluches étant affamée et triste. Deux cadres analytiques ont été utilisés, l'un pour le raisonnement mathématique et l'autre pour le raisonnement éthique. Les résultats montrent que les tâches de partage peuvent générer plusieurs solutions dans lesquelles les élèves utilisent différents arguments mathématiques combinés à des arguments éthiques. Un autre résultat est que les différents arguments interagissent souvent entre eux ou dépendent les uns des autres, ce qui signifie que le raisonnement mathématique et le raisonnement éthique sont étroitement liés.
