Abstract	This study examined student actions, interpretations, and language in respect to questions raised regarding tabular, graphical, and algebraic representations in the context of functions. The purpose was to investigate students' interpretations and specific ways of working within table, graph, and the algebraic on notions fundamental to a conceptualization of linear functions. Through a case study method which investigated individual representations and student articulations within them, the study revealed that students can make a transition from a given representation of linear function to another and yet demonstrate limited understanding of linear functions.
