      Algebraic and Geometric Approach in Function Problem Solving 

      Mousoulides,Nicholas G.; Gagatsis, Athanasios (International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004)
      This study explores students algebraic and geometric approach in solving tasks in functions and the relation of these approaches with complex geometric problem solving. Data were obtained from 95 sophomore pre-service ...

      Problem solving and problem posing in a dynamic geometry environment 

      Christou, Constantinos; Mousoulides,Nicholas G.; Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra (The University of Montana, 2005)
      In this study, we considered dynamic geometry software (DGS) as the tool that mediates students' strategies in solving and posing problems. The purpose of the present study was twofold. First, to understand the way in which ...
