Direct linkWang, Li; Cao, Chen; Zhou, Xinlin; Qi, Chunxia – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Open math problem solving is critical to help students deepen the understanding and promote transfer of mathematics knowledge. However, the cognitive mechanism for open math problem solving, particularly the role of spatial abilities, has not been paid enough attention. This study recruited 192 junior middle school students (14.30 ± 0.48 years…

Finke, Sabrina; Kemény, Ferenc; Sommer, Markus; Krnjic, Vesna; Arendasy, Martin; Slany, Wolfgang; Landerl, Karin – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background: Key to optimizing Computational Thinking (CT) instruction is a precise understanding of the underlying cognitive skills. Román-González et al. (2017) reported unique contributions of spatial abilities and reasoning, whereas arithmetic was not significantly related to CT. Disentangling the influence of spatial and numerical skills on CT…

Lukác, Stanislav; Gavala, Tadeáš – ICTE Journal, 2019
The probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic…

Kaur, Berinderjeet – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
The goal of this paper is to present a succinct consolidation of the why, what and how of the 'Model' method as there is a lack of such documentation for researchers, practitioners and policy makers thus far. The 'Model' method is a tool for representing and visualising relationships when solving whole number arithmetic (WNA) word problems. The…

Mix, Kelly S., Ed.; Battista, Michael T., Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
This unique volume surveys recent research on spatial visualization in mathematics in the fields of cognitive psychology and mathematics education. The general topic of spatial skill and mathematics has a long research tradition, but has been gaining attention in recent years, although much of this research happens in disconnected subfields. This…

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…

Unal, Hasan – Education, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate the preservice secondary mathematics teachers' development of pedagogical understanding in the teaching of modular arithmetic problems. Data sources included, written assignments, interview transcripts and filed notes. Using case study and action research approaches cases of three preservice teachers…

Peer reviewedReeve, Robert A.; Pattison, Philippa E. – Mathematical Cognition, 1996
Reports research designed to explore the possibility that conceptually different forms of common-fraction understanding can be identified. Such forms may be associated with differences in fraction problem solving-performance. Contains 50 references. (DDR)

Flewelling, Gary – 1993
This book is one in a series of teacher resource books developed to: (1) rescue students from the clutches of computers that drill and control; and (2) supply teachers with computer activities compatible with a mathematics program that emphasizes investigation, problem solving, creativity, and hypothesis making and testing. This is not a book…
