Abstract

The concept of accumulation, while central for integration and potentially significant, is often difficult for students to grasp. We examined the role of different contexts in expressing accumulative thinking. Initial results provide evidence that extra mathematical contexts facilitate students’ thinking of accumulation and offers an opportunity to express their accumulative thinking. It seems that certain extra mathematical contexts are more helpful in this sense than others.
