comment = {"it is very well known that students show difficulties in learning the symbolic language of algebra; many authors have pointed out that a major problem consists of students' incapability of relating symbolic expressions to their meaning: th eroot of many misunderstanding lie in the inadequecy of such a relationship, leading to incorrect performance and blind manipulations with algebraic symbolism (see Sfard (1991), Kieran (1992).}, priority = {2}, citeulike-article-id = {378202},
