"We Want a Statement That Is Always True": Criteria for Good Algebraic Representations and the Development of Modeling Knowledge.
Izsak, Andrew
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v34 n3 p191-227 May 2003
Presents a case study in which two 8th grade students developed knowledge for modeling a physical device called a winch. Demonstrates that students have and can use criteria for evaluating algebraic representations. Explains how students can develop modeling knowledge by coordinating criteria with knowledge for generating and using algebraic representations. (Author/KHR)
