Childers, Annie Burns; Vidakovic, Draga – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2014
This paper explores sixty-six students' personal meaning and interpretation of the vertex of a quadratic function in relation to their understanding of quadratic functions in two different representations, algebraic and word problem. Several categories emerged from students' personal meaning of the vertex including vertex as maximum or minimum…
