The aim of this study is to examine the semantic structures used by mathematics teacher candidates to transform algebraic expressions into verbal problems. The research is a descriptive study in the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research types. The study group of the research consists of 165 teacher candidates studying in the…

In the present research, we provide empirical evidence for the process of symbolic integration of number associations, focusing on the development of simple addition (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8), subtraction (e.g., 5 - 3 = 2), and multiplication (e.g., 5 × 3 = 15). Canadian children were assessed twice, in Grade 2 and Grade 3 (N = 244; 55% girls). All…

Pratt, Sarah Smitherman – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2018
Middle-grades mathematics prospective teachers (PSTs) participated in three iterations of a design experiment that explored their current conceptualizations of integer and binomial multiplication; this study analyzed whether that knowledge changed after engaging in a series of scaffolded tasks while using area models as concrete manipulatives.…

Jiang, Chunlian; Hwang, Stephen; Cai, Jinfa – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
This study examined 361 Chinese and 345 Singaporean sixth-grade students' performance and problem-solving strategies for solving 14 problems about speed. By focusing on students from two distinct high-performing countries in East Asia, we provide a useful perspective on the differences that exist in the preparation and problem-solving strategies…

Xin, Yan Ping; Si, Luo; Hord, Casey; Zhang, Dake; Cetinas, Suleyman; Park, Joo Young – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
The study explored the effects of a computer-assisted COnceptual Model-based Problem-Solving (COMPS) program on multiplicative word-problem-solving performance of students with learning disabilities or difficulties. The COMPS program emphasizes mathematical modeling with algebraic expressions of relations. Participants were eight fourth and fifth…

Alibali, Martha W.; Kao, Yvonne S.; Brown, Alayna N.; Nathan, Mitchell J.; Stephens, Ana C. – Wisconsin Center for Education Research (NJ1), 2009
This study investigated middle school students' conceptual understanding of algebraic equations. Participants in the study--257 sixth- and seventh-grade students--were asked to solve one set of algebraic equations and to generate story problems corresponding with another set of equations. Structural aspects of the equations, including the number…
