Another strong reason that motivated my research is the special position of my students: I teach in a bilingual school in Budapest in Hungary using Hungarian official curriculum. A lot of our students do not have the appropriate command of Serbian language or do not speak it all, so they attend this school in order to learn it. On the other hand, students coming from Serbia do not speak Hungarian. Consequently, we have to use both languages during the lessons. Due to the reasons mentioned, I decided to extend the period of teaching using concrete manipulative tools and to combine them with more abstract methods.
The role of the language is complex, explaining activities, thoughts and ideas on the appropriate level of representation and it is also used to bridge over the different levels of representations. Theoretical background and some algebraic aspects of thinking According to Bruner there are three levels of representation: enactive iconic and symbolic level. The algebra teaching usually happens on symbolic level.
Our aim was to use the enactive and visual level longer than it is used traditionally. There are different sources from which algebraic expression can take its mea- ning. One of them is formal, an algebraic expression is meaningful if it can be derived from set of axioms. In contrast with formal we use the term referential meaning: An algebraic expression can represent a relationship between numbers in general — we call it numerical meaning.
An algebraic expression can recall a relationship among quantities in some situations — we call it situational meaning. Stripe-arithmetic, the combination of representations Following the Hungarian curriculum for the 7th grade 13 year old students I applied my teaching method based on using manipulative tools in March , during 24 lessons of algebra. The class consisted of 7 students. This small number of students enable me to have individual approach to every student.
