The Construction of Mathematical Meanings: Connecting the Visual with the Symbolic.
Noss, Richard; Healy, Lulu; Hoyles, Celia
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v33 n2 p203-33 Jul 1997
Explores the relationship between learners' actions, visualizations, and the means by which these are articulated. Describes a microworld called Mathsticks which is designed to help students construct mathematical meanings by forging links between the visual and symbolic representations they develop and their actions. Presents a case study of two students using Mathsticks. (AIM)
