This paper aimed to investigate secondary school students' representations for solving geometric word problems in different clinical interviewing processes. More specifically, the focus was to understand the changes/developments in students' representations through think-aloud interviews (TAIs) and open-ended prompting interviews (OEPIs). Three…

Spatial visualisation is a subset of spatial ability and is exemplified in predicting whether or not a net will fold to form a target solid. The researchers examined video of interviews to explore the schemes of Year 5 students for determining the validity of nets for a cube and pyramid. Findings suggest the significance of imaged actions, shown…

Research has shown that the tools provided by dynamic geometry systems (DGSs) impact students' approach to investigating open problems in Euclidean geometry. We particularly focus on cognitive processes that might be induced by certain ways of dragging in Cabri. Building on the work of Arzarello, Olivero and other researchers, we have conceived a…
