Abstract | In this paper, we address the variety of ways in which students conceive of binary operations and the metaphors they might leverage when working with binary operations in group theory. We use open-ended surveys paired with interviews to qualitatively explore student's conceptions of binary operation. Through this analysis, we identified three central metaphors (function, arithmetic, and structure), as well as a number of attributes related to binary operation that students perceive as critical. This work has implications for our treatment of binary operation in advanced mathematics, and the messages we send about operation in the K-12 setting.
