Translating between and within representations: mathematics as lived experiences and interactions
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Students develop understanding of mathematics when they translate between and within different mathematical representations. This paper explores a student-generated story and content descriptors from the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics to highlight how primary school students can represent mathematical concepts through exploring the links between everyday physical objects, pictures, oral/written language, models and mathematical symbols. This active experience enhances the students' capacity to represent mathematical concepts and ideas, symbolize these, and eventually learn to abstract and generalize.
