Four Attentional Motions Involved in the Construction of Angularity
Hardison, Hamilton L.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (41st, St. Louis, MO, Nov 14-17, 2019)
Quantifying angularity is critical for the study of K-12 school mathematics and beyond; yet, quantifying angularity is challenging for individuals across these grade levels. Using data from a yearlong teaching experiment with ninth-grade students, I address the role of attentional motion in quantifying angularity and present four such motions involved in the construction of angularity. Additionally, I consider implications of these motions for teaching and research. [For the complete proceedings, see ED606556.]
