Chang, Briana L.; Cromley, Jennifer G.; Tran, Nhi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
Coordination of multiple representations (CMR) is widely recognized as a critical skill in mathematics and is frequently demanded in reform calculus textbooks. However, little is known about the prevalence of coordination tasks in such textbooks. We coded 707 instances of CMR in a widely used reform calculus textbook and analyzed the distributions…

Hill, Matthew; Sharma, Manjula Devi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
To succeed within scientific disciplines, using representations, including those based on words, graphs, equations, and diagrams, is important. Research indicates that the use of discipline specific representations (sometimes referred to as expert generated representations), as well as multi-representational use, is critical for problem solving…
