Abstract

In that study the type of patterns, the role representation types in mathematics, especially in pattern activities were discussed and some activity examples are given for students which have potential to develop their algebraic thinking skill requiring translation between representations such as symbolic to figural.

Keywords

Örüntü Etkinliklerinde Temsil Türlerinin Rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, örüntü türleri, matematikte özellikle örüntü etkinliklerinde temsillerin rolü tartışılmış ve öğrencilerin cebirsel düşünmelerinin gelişimine potansiyel katkısı olan temsiller arası geçiş gerektiren (örneğin sembolik temsilden şekil temsiline) etkinlik örneklerine yer verilmiştir.

Keywords

örüntü, örüntü türleri, örüntüde temsil tüleri
