The mathematics in the taskstext

• This study focuses on textual features that can be demanding in the reading of mathematics tasks. Two types of qualitative analyses are conducted on a few tasks to explore and evaluate what some previous statistical relations between particular textual features and the tasks reading demand stand for. First, the type of progression between the content represented as natural language is analysed. Second, the interaction between all semiotic resources of the text (i.e. natural language, mathematical notation, and images) is analysed. Preliminary results indicate that a reading demand that is unwanted in mathematics tasks seems to be related to features of the natural language but not to interaction between words and images or mathematical notation.
