Brian's Representation and Development of Mathematical Knowledge: A 4-Year Study.
Maher, Carolyn A.; And Others
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v10 n2 p163-210 Aug 1991
A longitudinal study followed Brian from grade five through grade seven to examine his representation and development of mathematical knowledge. Some observations over the four years were that Brian liked to figure things out, responded poorly to suggestions not fitting the representation he constructed, and changed attitudes from purposeful and creative to hesitant and less self-confident.
