Abstract	Gestures are profoundly integrated into our communication. This study focuses on the impact that gestures have in a mathematical setting, specifically in an undergraduate calculus workshop. There was strong correlation between diagramming and the two types of gestures identified in this study (i.e., dynamic and static gestures). Dynamic and static gestures were part of the students' constructive thinking, whether it was related to the manner in which they viewed the problem or the construction of their diagrams. Nonetheless, gestures played a strong role in the students' problem solving and the manner in which the gestures were utilized provided insight into their constructive thinking.
