Kan, Adnan; Bulut, Okan; Cormier, Damien C. – Educational Assessment, 2019
Item stem formats can alter the cognitive complexity as well as the type of abilities required for solving mathematics items. Consequently, it is possible that item stem formats can affect the dimensional structure of mathematics assessments. This empirical study investigated the relationship between item stem format and the dimensionality of…

Silver, Edward A., Ed.; Kenney, Patricia Ann, Ed. – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2015
This book's 28 chapters are adapted and updated from articles published in NCTM's "Journal for Research in Mathematics Education" between 2000 and 2010. The authors have rewritten and revised their work to make it clear, understandable, and--most of all--useful for mathematics teachers today. To help teachers even more, these articles…

Ives, Bob – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2007
Students who have particular difficulty in mathematics are a growing concern for educators. Graphic organizers have been shown to improve reading comprehension and may be applied to upper level secondary mathematics content. In two systematic replications, one randomly assigned group was taught to solve systems of linear equations through direct…

Pribnow, Jack R. – Sch Sci Math, 1969
The reason for the inability of students to master the solving of word problems in algebra is identified as the failure to organize and analyse the problems. The author's approach to the solution of these problems, involving writing symbols for the unknown(s), generating equations, solving the unknown(s) and interpretation is presented through…

Pippen, Judy F.; Carr, Dan B. – 1989
Three concerns investigated were: (1) the effect of two methods of teaching reading comprehension skills in a content area upon students' problem-solving performance on first-year algebra word problems; (2) the effects of three achievement levels of each assigned factor--reading comprehension, computational mathematics, and mathematical…
