Lóa Björk Jóelsdóttir; Paul Andrews – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper we present a novel adaptation of a tri-phase assessment tool, originally devised to investigate students' linear equations-related strategy flexibility, to evaluate Danish grade-six students' multidigit arithmetic-related strategy adaptivity and flexibility. Participants, 731 students, median age 12 years and drawn from 20…

Lóa Björk Jóelsdóttir; Paul Andrews – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
In this paper, the multidigit arithmetic-related strategy adaptivity, strategy flexibility and solution accuracy of Danish compulsory school students is examined. Participants, 749 grade three, 731 grade six and 818 grade eight, were drawn from twenty demographically different schools. Drawing on a tri-phase assessment tool, each student completed…

Lóa Björk Jóelsdóttir; Pernille Bødtker Sunde; Peter Sunde; Paul Andrews – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Motivated by a curriculum privileging number-based strategies but national tests highlighting students' reliance on standard algorithms, this study analyses 2,216 Danish Grade 3, 6 and 8 students' solutions to various multidigit arithmetic tasks, each designed to elicit shortcut strategies, against background variables including sex, ethnicity and…
