Given the vast experiences pre-service mathematics teachers (PSMTs) have with functions, one may assume that they have existing personal definitions and concept images. The purpose of this paper is to build an understanding of the variety of images that one might associate with a definition of function that includes 'for each input there is one…

This article focuses on how Swedish Year One students (age 7-8) make meaning when working with images in mathematics textbooks. Images include textbook images, but also students' self-drawn images used as support for calculation. The focus was (1) what the images in the exercises were designed to offer (the designed affordance), and (2) what the…

We present a two-assignment series that developed students' sociological imaginations and that could be done in a face-to-face or online course. The series used the Sociological Images blog and students' own visual images (e.g., photographs) to meet course learning goals: (1) link sociological theories and concepts to social events/trends, (2)…

This paper focuses on examining prospective science teachers' content knowledge about image formation in plane mirrors in terms of approach to error. In accordance with this purpose, 15 questions about the conceptual understanding of the image in plane mirrors and a data collection tool containing correct or incorrect information in the answers…
