Notations, Conventions, and Constraints: Contributions to Effective Uses of Concrete Materials in Elementary Mathematics.

Peer reviewed

Thompson, Patrick W. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1992

Fourth grade children (n=20) were matched on a pretest and randomly assigned to either a wooden base-10 block or computerized microworld group. Instruction was designed to establish relationships between notation and meaning, extending whole number numeration to decimal numeration. Neither group changed whole-number notational methods nor had…
