Aydin-Güç, Funda; Hacisalihoglu-Karadeniz, Mihriban – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the tessellation performance of 8th-grade students and factors affecting their performance. Student performances have been examined in two dimensions: identification and completion of tessellation. In this context, a diagnostic test containing two main questions with the content of determining whether…

Schueler-Meyer, Alexander – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
Flexibility in transforming algebraic expressions is recognized as fundamental for a rich procedural knowledge. Here, flexibility in-depth is proposed as the ability to apply one strategy to a wide range of unfamiliar expressions. In this study, design experiments with four groups of students were conducted to support students' flexibility…

Aktas, Gulfem Sarpkaya; Ünlü, Melihan – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
People need the idea of transformation geometry in order to understand the nature and environment they live in. The teachers should provide learning environments towards perceptual understanding in symmetry training and development practice skills of the students. In order to make up such a learning environment, teachers should have information…

Glass, Brad – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2004
This article describes a technology-based approach for dealing with a misconception that some students hold concerning the equivalency of geometric transformations. Students can begin to conceptualize transformations in terms of the relationship between preimage and image figures rather than focus on the motion of a figure. (Contains 7 figures.)
