Bossé, Michael J.; Bayaga, Anass; Lynch-Davis, Kathleen; DeMarte, Ashley M. – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2021
In the context of an analytical geometry, this study considers the mathematical understanding and activity of seven students analyzed simultaneously through two knowledge frameworks: (1) the Van Hiele levels (Van Hiele, 1986, 1999) and register and domain knowledge (Hibert, 1988); and (2) three action frameworks: the SOLO taxonomy (Biggs, 1999;…

Durand-Guerrier, Viviane; Arsac, Gilbert – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2004
It is widely attested that university students face considerable difficulties with reasoning in analysis, especially when dealing with statements involving two different quantifiers. We focus in this paper on a specific mistake which appears in proofs where one applies twice or more a statement of the kind "for all X, there exists Y such that R(X,…
