Models of Problem Solving: A Study of Kindergarten Children's Problem-Solving Processes.
Carpenter, Thomas P.; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v24 n5 p428-41 Nov 1993
After a year of instruction, 70 kindergarten children were individually interviewed as they solved basic, multistep, and nonroutine word problems. Thirty-two used a valid strategy for all 9 problems, and 44 correctly answered 7 or more problems. Modeling provided a unifying framework for thinking about problem solving. (Author/MDH)
