Kolovou, Angeliki; van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Marja; Koller, Olaf – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
This study investigated whether an intervention including an online game contributed to 236 Grade 6 students' performance in early algebra, that is, solving problems with covarying quantities. An exploratory quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest-control-group design. Students in the experimental group were asked to solve…

van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Marja; Kolovou, Angeliki; Robitzsch, Alexander – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
In this study we investigated the role of a dynamic online game on students' early algebra problem solving. In total 253 students from grades 4, 5, and 6 (10-12 years old) used the game at home to solve a sequence of early algebra problems consisting of contextual problems addressing covarying quantities. Special software monitored the…
