Abstract	Linear algebra differs from other mathematics courses because of the special difficulties that students have in understanding the concepts. Teaching without concretizing the concepts of Linear Algebra encouraged students to memorize definitions of concepts and rules has been articulated. Many researches show that technology-supported teaching is effective in concretizing abstract concepts. In this study, it was examined how pre-service mathematics teachers relate the definitions of concepts (linear combination, linear dependency/independency and spanning) and their visual equivalents in R[superscript 2] and R[superscript 3]. The study was conducted with four students who attended the Linear Algebra-2 course in the Elementary Mathematics Teaching, Faculty of Education of a state university in Turkey. The study was conducted by the teaching experiment method. Interviews were conducted using activities prepared in the GeoGebra program. It was observed that the participants used these concepts in very flexible way and they established a relationship between visualization and definitions in a very short time compared to the time spent during an educational period.
