This paper explored the following: (1) teachers' ways of attending to students' written responses in pattern generalization tasks and (2) differences in the ways of attending to students' responses associated with different factors. A questionnaire was developed to classify teachers' ways of attending to students' written responses. The…

The large flood of data flowing from observatories presents significant challenges to astronomy and cosmology--challenges that will only be magnified by projects currently under development. Growth in both volume and velocity of astrophysics data is accelerating: whereas the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced 60 terabytes of data in the…

The present paper examines a patterning activity that was organised within a teaching experiment in order to analyse the different uses of variables by secondary school students. The activity presented in the paper can be categorised as a pictorial/geometric linear pattern. We adopted a student-oriented perspective for our analysis, in order to…
