초록

Algebra deals with so general properties about number system that it is called as ‘generalized arithmetic’. Observing students’ activities in algebra classes, however, we can discover that recognition of the generality inalgebraic proofs is not so easy. One of these difficulties seems to be caused by variables which play animportant role in algebraic proofs. Many studies show that students have experienced some difficulties inrecognizing the meaning and the role of variables in algebraic proofs. For example, the confusion between2m+2n=2(m+n) and 2n+2n=4n means that students misunderstand independent/dependent variation of variables. This misunderstanding naturally has effects on understanding of the meaning of proofs. Furthermore, studentsalso have a difficulty in making a transition from algebraic proof to numerical cases which have the samestructure as the proof. This study investigates whether middle school students can recognize dependentgenerality and make a transition from proofs to numerical cases. The result shows that the participants of thisstudy have a difficulty in both of them. Based on the result, this study also includes didactical implications forteaching the generality of algebraic proofs.

Abstract

Algebra deals with so general properties about number system that it is called as ‘generalized arithmetic’. Observing students’ activities in algebra classes, however, we can discover that recognition of the generality inalgebraic proofs is not so easy. One of these difficulties seems to be caused by variables which play animportant role in algebraic proofs. Many studies show that students have experienced some difficulties inrecognizing the meaning and the role of variables in algebraic proofs. For example, the confusion between2m+2n=2(m+n) and 2n+2n=4n means that students misunderstand independent/dependent variation of variables. This misunderstanding naturally has effects on understanding of the meaning of proofs. Furthermore, studentsalso have a difficulty in making a transition from algebraic proof to numerical cases which have the samestructure as the proof. This study investigates whether middle school students can recognize dependentgenerality and make a transition from proofs to numerical cases. The result shows that the participants of thisstudy have a difficulty in both of them. Based on the result, this study also includes didactical implications forteaching the generality of algebraic proofs.
