Young Children's Combinatoric Strategies.
English, Lyn D.
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v22 n5 p451-74 Oct 1991
Fifty children, ranging in age from 4 to 10, were individually administered a series of tasks involving different combinations of 2 items selected from a discrete set of items. Analyses of their performances revealed a series of six, increasingly sophisticated, solution strategies ranging from random number selection of items to a systematic patterning of choices.
