    Abstract

    A characteristic in the process of acquiring mathematical knowledge is a dual relationship between variation and invariance. Mathematics activities can be seen as either seeking invariants while varying aspects that define/describe a mathematical situation or seeking to apply invariant mathematical concepts in various situations.
