Evolution of the Intuitive Mastery of the Relationship between Base, Exponent, and Number Magnitude in High-school Students.

Sastre, Maria Teresa Munoz; Mullet, Etienne

Mathematical Cognition, v4 n1 p67-77 1998

Investigates how students familiar with exponentiation intuitively combined information about bases and exponents in expressions of the type a(carot)n to estimate the magnitude of these expressions. Qualitative and quantitative analyses conducted on the data revealed at least five different models of magnitude estimation. Contains 17 references. (Author/ASK)
