Hattikudur, Shanta; Sidney, Pooja G.; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Problem Solving, 2016
Students benefit from learning multiple procedures for solving the same or related problems. However, past research on comparison instruction has focused on comparing multiple formal procedures. This study investigated whether the benefits of comparing procedures extend to comparisons that involve informal and formal procedures. We also examined…

McClaran, Robin Rudd – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The technology principle in the "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (NCTM, 2000) states that technology plays an important role in how teachers teach mathematics and in how students learn mathematics. The purpose of this sequential explanatory mixed methods study was to examine the impact of interactive applets on students'…

Chan, Winnie Wai Lan; Au, Terry K.; Tang, Joey – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2011
Even when two-digit numbers are irrelevant to the task at hand, adults process them. Do children process numbers automatically, and if so, what kind of information is activated? In a novel dot-number Stroop task, children (Grades 1-5) and adults were shown two different two-digit numbers made up of dots. Participants were asked to select the…

Mamona-Downs, Joanna – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
An account is made of the relationship between the convergence behaviour of a sequence and the accumulation points of the underlying set of the sequence. The aim is to provide students with opportunities to contrast two types of mathematical entities through their commonalities and differences in structure. The more set-oriented perspective that…
