Peer reviewedBarr, George – Mathematics in School, 1980
This report discusses students' understanding of the algebraic concepts of gradient and intercept with respect to simple graphs. A pilot study is described which attempts to identify the difficulties students encounter and determine the number of students who have these difficulties. (MK)

Peer reviewedGoldenberg, E. Paul – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1988
Computer software with graphic representations of functions can teach algebraic concepts, or can blur or obscure concepts of great importance. Making good use and bad use of visual imagery are each discussed. Then a general theory of interpretation of graphs is proposed, and a list of examples is presented. (MNS)
