Newton, Kristie Jones; Star, Jon R.; Lynch, Kathleen – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2010
The ability to flexibly solve problems is considered an important outcome for school mathematics and is the focus of this paper. The paper describes the impact of a three-week summer course for students who struggle with algebra. During the course, students regularly compared and contrasted worked examples of algebra problems in order to promote…
