Abstract

Accumulation is central to integration, and learning the integral concept based on the idea of accumulation has been found to be beneficial. In this study a learning activity on accumulation was designed using the context of a pool being filled, with the purpose of giving students opportunities to develop ways of thinking that support later studies of integration. Three pairs of 11th grade students carried out the activity. Our analysis shows which ways of thinking they developed, and how.
