California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento. – 1989
This report attempts to discover how students think about and use mathematics in open-ended questions. Part I, "Open-ended Questions in Mathematics," describes the rationale for adding open-ended questions to the grade 12 mathematics test of the California Assessment Program (CAP). Part II describes the findings from students' responses…

Carlson, Angela; Floto, Deborah; Mays, Barbara – 1997
This paper describes a program for increasing problem solving and critical thinking skills in mathematics. The targeted population consisted of one kindergarten, one first- and one second-grade classroom in an elementary school located in an older established community 12 miles west of Chicago. The problem was documented through student…

Peer reviewedHolzman, Thomas G.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1983
The cognitive determinants of number series completion performance were studied by presenting a systematic set of problems to college adults and to average- and high-IQ elementary school children. In each group, a combination of process and content-knowledge variables accounted for more than 70 percent of the variance in solution difficulty.…

Peer reviewedAnand, Padma G.; Ross, Steven M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1987
The purpose of this research was to design and evaluate a computer based adaptive strategy for teaching mathematics. Results indicated preference for materials with personalized examples for motivation and meaningful learning of problem solving procedures. Practical advantages of the computer-based model for adapting instruction are also…
