Direct linkHilton, Annette; Hilton, Geoff; Dole, Shelley; Goos, Merrilyn – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
Proportional reasoning, the ability to use ratios in situations involving comparison of quantities, is essential for mathematical competence, especially in the middle school years, and is an important determinant of success beyond school. Research shows students find proportional reasoning and its foundational concepts difficult. Proportional…

Peer reviewedClarke, David J.; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1993
Examines one mode of mathematical communication--student journal writing. The evaluation of the experimental use in one school of journal writing in mathematics demonstrates a link between language and mathematics and suggests a relationship between students' mathematical writings and their perceptions of mathematics. (Contains 21 references.)…
