Framework for Representing a Multiplicative Object in the Context of Graphing
Tasova, Halil I.; Moore, Kevin C.
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 (42nd, Mazatlán, Mexico and Online, May 27-Jun 6, 2021)
In this study, based on the analysis of a teaching experiment with middle school students, we propose a framework for describing meanings of a point represented on a plane in terms of multiplicative objects in the context of graphing. We classify those meanings as representing: (1) non-multiplicative objects; (2) quantitative multiplicative objects (Type-1 and Type 2); and (3) spatial multiplicative objects. We then discuss implications of these meanings with respect to students' graphing activities. [For the complete proceedings, see ED629884.]
