Abstract
This paper presents first results from a research project aimed at combining two theoretical frameworks, one concerning explanations and one related to rationality. The two theoretical lenses are used to understand one episode from a teaching experiment carried out in grade seven, concerning the construction of rectangles with a given perimeter. The combination of frameworks allows a finer analysis of the teaching episode and extends the original frameworks. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
