مستخلص: On the basis of the construct of "discursive focus" by Sfard (2000), this study explores how students' attention is brought to new mathematical content in whole-class interaction between the teacher and the children. In a sixth-grade lesson introducing the concept of constancy of proportion, we analyzed the progression of social interaction in terms of how different foci were presented, problematized, or modified. The results show that the children's vague attention to the constant number was questioned and made an object of examination. The children's attention was then carefully controlled by involving them in building new perspectives, which became the basis for making sense of constancy of proportion. We also point out several significant teaching actions for making this process happen. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
