Tillema, Erik; Gatza, Andrew – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
Generalization has been a major focus of curriculum standards and research efforts in mathematics education. While researchers have documented many productive contexts for generalizing and the generalizations students make, less attention has been given to the processes of generalizing. Moreover, there has been less work done with high school…
