Bautista, Debbie; Mulligan, Joanne; Mitchelmore, Michael – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2009
Young Filipino children are expected to solve mathematical word problems in English, a task which they typically encounter only in schools. In this exploratory study, task-based interviews were conducted with seven Filipino children from a public school. The children were asked to read and solve addition and subtraction word problems in English or…

Mulligan, Joanne; Prescott, Anne; Mitchelmore, Michael – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In a descriptive study of 103 grade 1 children, including 16 longitudinal case studies, we investigated the use of mathematical structure across a range of mathematical tasks. Children's structural development was inferred from their imagistic representations, supported by analysis of problem-solving behavior during videotaped task-based clinical…
