Abstract

Sorting tasks are often used in mathematics education to highlight certain features of a set of objects. In this study we strived to make sense of how students use immediate feedback in a two-choice digital sorting task, in the context of elementary school reflective symmetry, using GeoGebra applets we developed. Participants included 29 students (9-12 years old) from Israel and Germany. Calculating variables that describe student actions throughout the sorting process, and using cluster analysis, we were able to identify different behaviors among students for each sorting task. We also highlight some interesting relationships between behaviors across the two tasks.
