Direct linkMesa, Vilma; Suh, Heejoo; Blake, Tyler; Whittemore, Timothy – PRIMUS, 2012
We present an analysis of several characteristics of examples in 10 college algebra textbooks used in community colleges or 4-year institutions. We analyzed the examples along four dimensions: cognitive demand, the responses expected, the use of representations, and the strategies available for verifying the correctness of the solutions. We found…
