Resumen
- español
  Este estudio tiene como objetivo examinar el papel de las representaciones múltiples en el aprendizaje de los conceptos algebraicos en estudiantes de educación secundaria. Se desarrolló una investigación semiexperimental para la enseñanza de representaciones numéricas, simbólicas y gráficas y la enseñanza tradicional, en este estudio participaron 83 estudiantes femeninas del décimo grado de una escuela secundaria en Teherán. Se concluyó que hay una diferencia significativa entre los puntajes promedio de matemáticas en el grupo control y los grupos experimentales.
  
  El uso del método basado en diferentes representaciones ayudó a las estudiantes a ser creativas y proporcionar ejemplos de álgebra similares; por lo tanto, la capacidad de análisis aumentará.

  This study aimed to examine the role of multiple representations in learning algebraic concepts for high school students. Using the semiexperimental research method for teaching of numerical, symbolic, and graphical representations, and traditional teaching, 83 female students were selected from the tenth grade of a high school in Tehran. We concluded that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of mathematics in the control and experimental groups. Using the method based on different representations helped the students to become creative and provide similar Algebra examples; thereby analysis power will be increased.
