Assessing Children's Mathematical Thinking in Practical Modelling Situations.

Tanner, Howard; Jones, Sonia

Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, v21 n4 p145-59 Dec 2002

Investigates the use of mathematical modeling tasks in 11- and 12-year-old students and the development of mathematical thinking skills using practical modeling activities. Analyzes the development of students' mathematical thinking with interviews of a form of dynamic assessment. Reports that some students proved to be naturally mindful and meta-cognitive thinking might be taught in secondary schools. (Author/KHR)
