description

Paper II and III are not available as a part of the dissertation due to the copyright. The research presented in this thesis is based on observations and analyses of classroom data from four countries. The data were collected through a collaboration of local research teams in Finland, Norway, Sweden and the USA (California) and the shared topic of interest is the learning of elementary algebra. This thesis is concerned with the meaning making of students as they are introduced to, and engage in, tasks, symbols and ideas belonging to the highly abstract discourse of algebra. Further, as a response to the complexity of classroom learning, the thesis also seeks to advance analytical approaches for studying algebraic thinking.
