Abstract
This article describes the development of a coding scheme for analyzing mathematical tasks in Primary Source Projects (PSPs), curriculum materials based on primary historical sources designed for teaching standard topics from today’s undergraduate mathematics curriculum. Our scheme attends to social-cultural aspects of mathematical learning while focusing on the student actions expected as they work tasks. We exemplify our scheme with tasks drawn from a diverse set of PSPs and report results from its application to these projects. We conclude with comments on how our work can assist instructors, curriculum developers, and researchers, including those who are interested in other types of curricular materials.
