Commentary: The mental representation of integers: An abstract-to-concrete shift in the understanding of mathematical concepts
Mathematics has a level of structure that transcends untutored intuition. What is the cognitive representation of abstract mathematical concepts that makes them meaningful? We consider this question in the context of the integers, which extend the natural numbers with zero and negative numbers. Participants made greater and lesser judgments of pairs of integers. Experiment 1 demonstrated an inv...
متن کاملCan structured representation enhance students' thinking skills for better understanding of E-learning content?
This paper proposes an e-learning model to assess the effects of online structured representation of content on learners’ understanding. We designed a structured representation based on the theory of distributed cognition that provides seven segments for reading research articles. The study hypothesized that motivation, attention, and interactivity are essential factors that affect students’ th...
متن کاملThe Effect of Representation and Representational Sequence on Students’ Understanding
This study investigates the effect of representational sequence on students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. Pilot studies were conducted with 129 high school students on solving inverse trigonometric identities and with 10 pre-service secondary teachers on representing Simpson’s Paradox. Structured activities with a variety of representations and representational sequences were used to...
متن کاملOn Representation of Integers by Quadratic Forms.
The operation of finding the limit of an infinite series has been one of the most fruitful operations of all mathematics. While this is not a group operation the theory of continuous transformation groups inaugurated by S. Lie has thrown much new light on this operation. The assumption that only two elements are combined at a time applies to continuous groups as well as to those which are disco...
متن کاملOn the Multiplicative Representation of Integers
Let a i < a2 < . . . be an infinite sequence of integers . Denoteby g(n) the number of solutions of n = a ; . . .a ; .Ifg(n)>0 for a sequence n of positive upper density then lim sup g(n) = cc . Let a t < a2 < . . . be an infinite sequence of integers and denote by f(n) the number of solutions of n = a, + a, . An old conjecture of Turán and myself states that if f (n) > 0 for all n > n o then l...
