Student mathematical connections in an introductory linear algebra course
Page: 221
In an introductory linear algebra course, students are expected to learn a plethora of new concepts as well as how these concepts are connected to one another. Learning these connections can be quite challenging for students due to the vast number of connections and student inexperience with mathematical logic. The study reported here consisted of an investigation into how inquiry-oriented teaching methods could be employed in an attempt to create opportunities for students to develop mathematical connections in an introductory linear algebra course.
