Abstract

The view that imagery can hinder mathematical thinking might surprise some mathematics educators who contend that understanding is enriched whenever visual imagery is used. In two contrasting cases, we present the view that dynamic visual images, without support from analytic thinking, can be a hindrance in constructing mathematical meaning - contrary to the "panacea" view of imagery which is sometimes expressed. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
