Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 6, 3, 170-178, May 75

This study was designed to compare the relative effectiveness of word problem instruction based on Polya's approach to problem solving with Dahmus' word by word translation approach. When ninth-grade students were randomly assigned to one of these approaches, no differences in mean number of problems solved were observed. (SD)
