In this paper, part of a wider study aimed at a conscious use of the algebraic language in proof activities in elementary number theory (ENT), we analyse the role of the teacher in discussion activities aimed at providing pupils with the activation of those skills needed for thinking through algebraic language, and we will highlight the specific characteristics of the teacher’s effective action, within this process, in providing a role model to the pupils.
