Analysis of Two-Variable Function Graphing Activities
Martínez-Planell, Rafael; Trigueros Gaisman, María
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (34th, Kalamazoo, MI, Nov 1-4, 2012)
This is a study about the didactical organization of a research based group of activities designed using APOS theory to help university students make constructions, needed to understand and graph two-variable functions, but found to be lacking in previous studies. The model of the "moments of study" of the Anthropological Theory of Didactics is applied to analyze the activities in terms of their institutional viability.
