Description:
We explore how mathematics education reform has influenced what it means to solve word problems in algebra class by analyzing teachers’ perceptions on students’ solutions that use graphs, tables of values or numeric considerations instead of equations. The structure of our on-line media-rich questionnaire and pilot findings will be discussed.
