Hi David, This is a great piece by Jason Puskar that looks at embodied calculation by studying finger counting practices: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1461444819843300?journalCode=nm...

Dear All,
I’m wondering if you could point me to some references that treat the material and embodied practices — like writing, reading, publishing, lecturing — of people doing mathematics, symbolic logic, and calculation.
