The ant farm task - The case of Ginny
Page: 1222
We present preservice teacher’s (PST’s) progression of thinking during the Ant Farm Task (AFT). We describe the PST’s construction of the Cartesian plane in four critical phases. The AFT presented us an opportunity to identify important cognitive activities that supported the PST’s construction of the Cartesian plane.
