Hi Ingvild!

Thank you for this message about teaching Deaf children mathematics in Norway…

Your point below, about the fact that both sign language and math are highly space dependent is very interesting…So that is a place for SignWriting, as you say…

I searched the Norwegian SignPuddle ( http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=3&sgn=69 <http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=3&sgn=69> ) for “matematikk” and see a good number of signs related to mathematics -
