An Exploration of Persevering Students' Management of Problem Solving Strategies.

Taplin, Margaret

Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, v17 n1 p49-63 Win 1995

Interviewers asked (n=10) 6th- and (n=10) 10th-grade students to solve nonroutine number problems. Task analysis of perseverers, those students who continued after reaching "dead-ends," found that students who were ultimately successful were more inclined to be flexible in their strategies.
