This article illustrates the analysis of chat sessions using Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic sign relation. The episodes presented here are from a project called ‘Math- Chat’, which is based on the use of mathematical inscriptions in an experimental setting. One characteristic of this chat setting is that it requires the pupils to document all their attempts of solving mathematical problems as mutual inscriptions in written and graphical form. In order to analyse the outline, as well as the use and development of the jointly-devised inscriptions, a suitable instrument for analysis has been developed by combining an interactionist approach with a semiotic perspective. Through incorporating this semiotic perspective into an empirical study on mathematic learning, the development and use of such an instrument can be demonstrated. Furthermore, the development and the structure of ‘Semiotic Process Cards’ will be explained. In conclusion, the findings related to the use of inscriptions in general as well as in primary-classroom problem-solving processes will be presented.
