Abstract
This study proposes a system that helps learners transform mathematical expressions by letting the learners select the part of the original mathematical expression to be transformed. On selection, a list of mathematical expressions is displayed, showing possible transformations. Users select one mathematical expression from the list of displayed candidates. The transformed expressions can be further transformed recursively, step-by-step. In this way, the system supports trial-and-error steps of the transformation process and lets learners transform actively. This study also aims to understand learners’ trial-and-error steps by using transformation history.
