Abstract
- We investigate students' construction of the polar coordinate system (PCS).
- We characterize complexities that emerged during students' construction of the PCS.
- Cartesian conventions influence students' construction of the PCS.
- Students' angle measure meanings influence their construction of the PCS.
- Polar coordinates offer a context that supports student learning.
