The Role of Implicit Models in Solving Verbal Problems in Multiplication and Division.

Fischbein, Efraim; And Others

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v16 n1 p3-17 Jan 1985

Over 600 pupils in grades five, seven, and nine in Italian schools were asked to choose the operation needed to solve 26 multiplication and division word problems. The findings seemed to confirm the impact of the repeated addition model on multiplication and of the partitive model on division. (MNS)
