| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to understand students' mathematical thinking by supposing that it is related to constructing and using diagrams, which are inscriptions on a paper, such as figures, tables and signs, with certain rules.
Diagrams are constructed originally through bodily actions or experiences, while these include some useful ideas and are handed on to the next. This research implied that students thought mathematically by reading a pattern or law to make a hypothesis and verifying the range in which they could deal with it as a theory.
