Kohen, Zehavit; Amram, Meirav; Dagan, Miriam; Miranda, Tali – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
This study explores the self-efficacy and problem-solving skills of middle school mathematics students. The students -- 111 9th graders who were studying a unit for the analysis of function -- were given mathematics instruction that was based on either dynamic or static visualization. Findings revealed a positive impact of instruction that was…

Ünal, Zehra E.; Ala, Asli M.; Kartal, Gamze; Özel, Serkan; Geary, David C. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Sixty (35 girls) ninth graders were assessed on measures of algebraic reasoning and usage of visual and symbolic representations (with a prompt for visual use) to solve equations and inequalities. The study grouped visual representations into two categories: arithmetic-visual, which entailed the use of real-world objects to represent specific…
