Abstract:
The transformation of equations is a central activity in algebra. Equivalence transformations, as a special type of transformation, prove to be a useful tool for solving equations. In the context of this project, the concept of equivalent transformation is theoretically processed and analysed. By means of a performance test and interviews, the understanding and skills of learners regarding this concept will be analysed. The data will be used to analyse which factors influence the ability to transform, which knowledge and which ideas are associated with better performance. The aim is to derive conclusions for the teaching of equation transformation based on the knowledge gained from the survey.
