Different Procedures to Find Numbers in an Interval with High School Students = Diferentes procedimientos para hallar números en un intervalo con estudiantes de bachillerato
Mayra Zulay Suárez Rodríguez; Ana Isabel Sacristán
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 (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
In this report we show an investigation of how high-school students learn strategies to find intermediate numbers in an interval to understand the property of numerical density. Research has shown that some high-school students have difficulty in understanding this property. To mitigate this difficulty, we proposed a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory, using school mathematics topics, for high-school students to learn about numerical density. Our study showed that some students recognized that there is an infinite quantity of intermediate numbers in an interval; however, all the participants had difficulty understanding why there is no successor in a set other than the natural or integer numbers.
