conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 16:57 authored by Kim BeswickThe development of students' proportional reasoning is a key concern of middle school mathematics and is related to many topics with which students experience dijJiculties. Carefidly chosen tasks can reveal much about students' understandings of mathematical concepts and are hence valuable parts of teachers' repertoires. This paper presents a range of student responses to tasks, to illustrate both the potential value of well chosen tasks for teaching, and the diversity of students' proportional thinking.
