Specifically, I describe attempts by a group of 7th graders who were algebra beginners to reformulate narratives using two lexical sets: verbal and iconic. The 2 sets are parallel representations of the characteristics of any process that can be described by a function of a single variable. A software environment provides an opportunity to manipulate visual objects and to use a verbal set that is simpler and more abstract than natural language descriptions. The use of these lexical sets offers a path toward modeling that does not require the use of algebraic symbols, typically the only first route of employing mathematical notations. Over the course of the intervention, notations were introduced, and syntactic and semantic aspects of the language were developed. Along the course of the study, I observed how natural language text turns into a script of events and processes, how the qualitative graphic description of the script is sketched using iconic notations, and how the same graph turns into a subject for qualitative analysis of rate of change.

It enlightens the rational for studying teachers who reform their algebra teaching with technology. Analyzing the mathematical knowledge and didactical approaches as reflected in discussion with 3 teachers in a structured interview. The paper suggests the rationale and an attempt to construct terminology to describe the various actions and modes of teachers’ understanding. Each one of the stories, which were chosen from a larger collection of interviews we documented, introduces a personal case that makes evident an interesting and probably more general phenomenon. The tool for the interviews was developed based on previous studies investigating cognition of algebra students learning with graphic technology. This study has already resulted in a further development of the interview tool that was used with the same in...
