The opaque nature of generic examples: The structure of student teachers’ arguments in multiplicative reasoning

The study aims to explore the structural aspects of generic examples, to get better insight into what makes them potentially opaque for learners. We have analyzed 27 written arguments, for which student teachers (grades 1–10) were asked to use a generic example to prove a given statement in multipli...
