Phage, Itumeleng B.; Lemmer, Miriam; Hitge, Mariette – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2017
Students' graph comprehension may be affected by the background of the students who are the readers or interpreters of the graph, their knowledge of the context in which the graph is set, and the inferential processes required by the graph operation. This research study investigated these aspects of graph comprehension for 152 first year…
