North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (43rd, Philadelphia, PA, Oct 14-17, 2021)
This study aims to describe how preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) reason about different function representations. The study focuses on two PSMTs' reasonings across static and dynamic representations of functions. Sfard's (2008) Theory of Commognition guided our analysis. Findings indicate that while static representations restrict attention given to covariation, dynamic representations support PSMTs' reasoning about covariation including making connections to how covariation is represented in static graphs.
