N2 - A deep understanding of students’ learning processes is one of the core challenges
of research in mathematics education. To achieve this, different theoretical lenses are
available. The question is how these different lenses compare and contrast, and how they
can be coordinated and combined to provide a more comprehensive view on the topic of
study. To investigate this, one single episode is analyzed with two theoretical lenses, the
instrumental genesis perspective and the onto-semiotic approach. The results from this joint
analysis provide a rich view on the observed phenomena and help to identify the affordances
and constraints of each of the two theoretical approaches and to articulate them. This way,
the networking of theories proves to affect theoretical advancements.
