Direct linkClements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie – Early Childhood Today, 2006
This article features the Agam program, developed by Yaacov Agam and education researchers, who worked with him to further develop and test the program that teaches visual literacy. Visual literacy is the study of shapes and how they combine to make everything from alphabetic letters to great art. Although the Agam program is long and involved,…

Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Battista, Michael T. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1998
Investigates the development of shape concepts within an instructional unit on geometric paths, including the role of noncomputer and computer interactions in that development. Concludes that the computer environment and the activities facilitated students' development of their conceptualizations of the properties of geometric shapes and their…

Peer reviewedClements, Douglas H.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1997
Describes a study of third-grade students (N=38) that investigates the development of linear measurement concepts. Three levels of strategies were identified: visual guessing, hash marks, and no physical partitioning. Students who connected numeric and spatial representations proved to be the better problem solvers. Contains 22 reference. (DDR)
