Background/Objective. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multisensory approach based on the CRA framework in enhancing geometric thinking skills among fourth-grade students with learning difficulties in mathematics. It examined the relationship between sense preferences and performance and investigated how interactions among those…

Direct linkFungirai Mudhefi; Koena Mabotja; Dimakatjo Muthelo – Perspectives in Education, 2024
The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…

Babai, Reuven; Nattiv, Laura; Stavy, Ruth – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Students' difficulties in mathematics and science may stem from interference of irrelevant salient variables. We focus on the comparison of perimeters task, in which area is the irrelevant salient variable. A previous fMRI brain-imaging study related to the comparison of perimeters task suggested that increasing the level of salience of the…

Zhang, Dake – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2017
We examined the effectiveness of (a) a working memory (WM) training program and (b) a combination program involving both WM training and direct instruction for students with geometry difficulties (GD). Four students with GD participated. A multiple-baseline design across participants was employed. During the Phase 1, students received six sessions…

Kuzniak, Alain; Rauscher, Jean-Claude – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2011
Various studies suggest that French students (grades 7 to 10) may solve geometric problems within a paradigmatic framework that differs from that assumed by teachers, a situation prone to misunderstandings. In this paper, we study the extent to which secondary school teachers recognise the conflicting paradigms and how they handle the geometric…

Peer reviewedHoz, Ron – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1981
This study attempts to explain certain difficulties which ninth grade students face in tackling geometrical "problems to prove," by relating them to general and to specific rigidity and cognitive style variables. The results confirm the conceptual analysis of Geometric Rigidity (GR). (MP)

Schoenfeld, Alan H. – 1981
The research described here seeks to characterize the "managerial" aspects of expert and novice problem-solving behavior, and to describe the impact of managerial or "executive" actions on success or failure in problem solving. A framework for analyzing protocols of problem-solving sessions based on "episodes" of…
