Lee, Ji-Eun; Hornburg, Caroline Byrd; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Ottmar, Erin – Grantee Submission, 2021
We investigated the effects of proximal grouping of numbers, problem-solving goals to make 100, and prior knowledge on students' solution strategies in an online mathematics game. Logistic regression on 857 problem-level data points from 227 middle-school students showed that students were more likely to use productive solution strategies on…

Incikabi, Lütfi; Ayanoglu, Perihan; Uysal, Ramazan – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2020
This study aimed to reveal the conceptual and operational conceptions of sixth-grade students in the process of division. The focus of the study included the strategies used in the division process, the students' understanding of the division algorithm, and their ability to interpret the remainder in a real-life context. Being qualitative in…

Ulrich, Catherine – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2016
This is the second of a two-part article that presents a theory of unit construction and coordination that underlies radical constructivist empirical studies of student learning ranging from young students' counting strategies to high school students' algebraic reasoning. In Part I, I discussed the formation of arithmetical units and composite…

Hopkins, Sarah; Bayliss, Donna – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2017
In this research, we examined how 200 students in seventh grade (around 12 years old) solved simple addition problems. A cluster approach revealed that less than half of the cohort displayed proficiency with simple addition: 35% predominantly used min-counting and were accurate, and 16% frequently made min-counting errors. Students who frequently…

Rumiati, Rumi; Wright, Robert J. – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Pat was a 19-year-old attending a Special School for the Intellectually Disabled in Indonesia. She was interviewed by the first author regarding her mental calculation strategies when solving 1- and 2-digit addition and subtraction problems. Results indicate that she was able to see ten as a unit composed of ten ones and was facile in using…
