In mathem atics\, one of the challenges is the change in the type of tasks and the w ay these tasks are worded and presented to the students.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present my PhD study where I examine how students tackle unfamilia r tasks. In the study\, six individual first year calculus students are pr esented with mathematics tasks\, all with the common theme of integral cal culus\, ranging from relatively familiar to quite unfamiliar in form. The students were then observed as they individually attempted to solve these tasks.\n\nIn the analysis of the data\, the Anthropological Theory of Dida ctics (ATD) is used as the main theoretical framework. In addition\, a too l developed out of the Instrumental Approach\, as a result of the first pa per in this study\, is also used in structuring the data for the analysis. \n\nhttps://www.ind.ku.dk/begivenheder/2021/topphol/\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/DidMat/13/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
