Problem Solving, Modeling, and Local Conceptual Development.

Lesh, Richard; Harel, Guershon

Mathematical Thinking and Learning, v5 n2-3 p157-89 2003

Describes similarities and differences between modeling cycles and stages of development. Includes examples of relevant constructs underlying children's developing ways of thinking about fractions, ratios, rates, proportions, or other mathematical ideas. Concludes that modeling cycles appear to be local or situated versions of the general stages of development. (KHR)
