Abstract:
|
A primary goal of this study is to articulate and document the influence of perceptual factors such as boundedness on middle school students’ graphical reasoning. From data gathered in videotaped interviews, we analyzed middle school students’ verbal responses and gestures. The constructs of “bounded” and “unbounded” views of graphs emerged and were found to be predictive of students’ performance on far prediction tasks. |

| SPEECH AND GESTURE IN PATTERN GENERALIZATION TASKS INVOLVING GRAPHS: EVIDENCE THAT PERCEPTIONS INFLUENCE CONCEPTIONS Kristen Bieda Mitchell Nathan University of Wisconsin – Madison University of Wisconsin - Madison bieda@wisc.edu mnathan@wisc.edu This paper presents a study aimed at describing middle school students’ views of graphical representations. From interviews of middle school students solving pattern generalization tasks using graphs both speech and gesture responses were analyzed to determine students’ beliefs about graphical representations. Results indicate that a bounded view of graphs |
