Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Intuitions on selected function concepts presented in diagram, graph, and table settings were investigated. The sample was 443 pupils from grades 6 through 9 of 12 Israeli schools. Different groups had different intuitions, but these intuitions were independent of the settings in which presented and independent of abstraction levels. (MP)
