Examines the mathematical sense-making of eighth-grade students as they use physical devices to learn about linear functions. Suggests the concept of transparency as an index of access to knowledge and activities rather than as an inherent feature of objects. Concludes that transparency is a process mediated by unfolding activities and users'…
