Conservation of Equation and Function under Transformations of Variable.
Wagner, Sigrid
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v12 n2 p107-18 Mar 1981
This study investigated students' understanding of two mathematical relations as measured by conservation tasks. Thirty students were interviewed, half each at the middle and high school levels. The results suggest that the ability to conserve equation or function varies among pupils of different ages, sexes, and mathematical backgrounds. (MP)
