Peer reviewedRowlands, Stuart; Graham, Ted; Berry, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1998
Reports on a small-scale investigation of student understanding of moments of forces to provide some indication as to the nature of intuitive ideas in this area. Results of the investigation suggest three stumbling blocks in the conceptual understanding of moment of forces. (Author/ASK)

Peer reviewedSingh, Parmjit – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2000
Investigates the concepts of ratio and proportion constructed by grade 9 students by investigating their proportional reasoning schemes and procedures on three types of tasks: missing value, numerical comparison, and qualitative reasoning. Indicates that students frequently used additive reasoning--that is, a comparison of two numbers by…
