Abstract
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the complementarity of intuition and logical thinking in a process of understanding mathematics basing on two basic notions of mental model and reflective thinking. In this paper, we examine the validity of the so-called "two-axes process model", especially the horizontal axis consists of three learning stages by analyzing an elementary school mathematics class. Firstly, we identify some mental models of length which students have initially at the class and lead to a misjudgement or a mathematically incorrect anticipatory intuition. Secondarily, we observe how such intuition has been changed under the control of students' reflective thinking in a whole-class discussion. As a result of the protocol analysis of a class, the validity of the horizontal axis of the model is documented.
