Resumen
This is a discussion and theoretical paper arguing for a social class analysis of the use of the visual in mathematics teaching. Whilst each topic has a considerable literature, they are rarely linked in the mathematics education literature. However, I argue for an inextricable connection between non-textual modes of thinking and communication and the SES gap in mathematical achievement.
