Pre-Service Teachers’ Strategies in Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Many secondary school students have encountered difficulties when dealing with absolute value equations and inequalities. This condition might be brought to higher education, including by pre-service mathematics teachers in teacher training colleges. The inequalities, which can observed from solution strategies, indicate the lack of symbol sense. study aims investigate strategies that used while solving inequalities perspective To this, we conducted a qualitative case through two written tests followed interviews involving 36 one state universities Bandung, Indonesia. results revealed three different for either or Also, occurred during processes were addressed. We conclude sense characteristics are fruitful interpreting selection
