Peer reviewedHolton, Derek; Anderson, Julie; Thomas, Bronwen; Fletcher, David – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1999
Describes the results of part of a study into mathematical problem solving in secondary schools. Concludes that positive results were achieved, in part, as a consequence of the time that was spent in problem-solving lessons which allowed students to practice reading and working with word problems and working on basic material, particularly…
