• Abstraction in mathematics learning (2007, methodology): “We have been developing a theory of what we call Teaching for Abstraction (Mitchelmore & White, 2000b, 2004a), where students: • familiarise themselves with the structure of a variety of relevant contexts; • recognise the similarities between these different contexts; • reify the similarities to…”
• About the concept of angle in elementary school: Misconceptions and teaching sequences (2013, background): “This multifaceted concept (Mitchelmore & White, 2000) is constructed slowly and progressively (Lehrer, Jenkins, & Osana, 1998; Mitchelmore, 1997, 1998; for the developmental stages, see Van Hiele, 1986).”
