Sameness Connections across Mathematics
Page: 238
Helping students see conceptual connections between content areas is important for the development of flexible understanding, yet research on ways in which notions of sameness throughout math can be connected is limited. This study examines survey responses from mathematicians on the relevance of sameness to topics in abstract algebra and connections between sameness in algebra and other courses. Common connections are highlighted as are themes in the types of connections provided.
