Page: 1068
The goal of this preliminary report is to demonstrate students engaging in transformational reasoning in an introduction to proof class. Utilizing transcript data and operationalizing Simon’s (1996) definition of transformational reasoning, these preliminary results include descriptions of transformational reasoning in an advanced math context, as well as how students used transformational reasoning in order to accomplish their mathematical goals.
