Peer reviewedStacey, Kaye – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Explored are responses of students aged 9 to 13 to linear generalizing problems from both a technical and strategic point of view. The methods commonly used were the same in all age groups and across all three questions, although some students choosing each model varied. (YP)

Peer reviewedNesher, Pearla; Hershkovitz, Sara – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Studied schemes involved in solving two-step arithmetic word problems in (n=1824) elementary schoolchildren in Israel. Compound schemes and combinations of operations were found to affect the difficulty level of the problems. Appendix includes two versions of the test instrument. (Contains 17 references.) (MKR)
