Lead Speaker:
Volkan Sevim
Co-Speaker:

The transition from linear to quadratic functions poses challenges for most algebra students. Drawing from our own research study, we will explore students' conceptions of different aspects of quadratic functions and offer classroom activities that can deepen students' understanding of quadratics through reasoning and communication.
