Abstract
Just as a Venn diagram can represent both a loop and a mathematical set, semi-concrete schema function as a bridge between the concrete and the abstract and help students to understand mathematical concepts. Using computers, schema can be moved in real time by the teacher to clarify the object in question, to make comparisons of the object before and after transformation, and to focus on invariants. In motion, schema take on greater strength as signifiers, and become harder to understand intuitively. Our task now is to learn how students can come to visualize moving schema for themselves.
