Direct linkSamuels, Peter – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2010
Many developed nations have a serious problem with a shortage in the supply of numerate graduates, fuelled by their school students' negative attitudes towards their future study of mathematics. At the same time, the smart phone and other personal sensing technological devices are becoming commonplace amongst students in schools and universities.…

Sumagaysay, Lourdes Sonza – 1970
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects upon achievement of three levels of sequencing in problem type and two methods of presenting problem solutions. Six treatment combinations of the above were randomly assigned to 18 classes in a school system (grade level unspecified). Results showed that the sequencing called Moderately…

Chapman, L. R. – Mathematics Teaching, 1970
Stresses the need for theories of teaching and learning mathematics. Argues that a study of how students react to new problem solving situations is a step in the right direction. (RS)

Peer reviewedWebb, Leland F.; Sherrill, James M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1974
Results of a 10-item mathematical word problem test taken by 80 preservice elementary teachers showed that those receiving accurate pictures accompanying each problem scored significantly higher than both those receiving no pictures and those having inaccurate diagrams; the "no picture" group scored significantly higher than the "inaccurate…

Peer reviewedSherrill, James M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1973
Three forms of a problem-solving test were given randomly to 322 tenth graders. Performance on the form containing accurate pictorial representations of items was significantly higher than on the form with only prose descriptions, which was in turn significantly higher than on the form with distorted pictorial representations.

Logothetti, David Eugene – 1972
The purpose of the study was to present a precise interpretation of the Poincare-Hadamard conception of mathematical problem solving, to provide a transition from theory into practice by making tactical suggestions on how to generate productive problem-solving thought, and to translate these specific suggestions into tentative objectives and…
