Helena Johansson; Cecilia Kilhamn – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Generalization is one of the core aspects of algebraic thinking, and research literature points to the importance of objectification when generalizing mathematical discourses. To increase the field's understanding of the objectification process in various algebra discourses, our study analyses Grade 6 teachers' use of words, symbols, routines and…
