Nahmias, Erez; Teicher, Mina – Journal of Education and Learning, 2021
In this paper, we examine the importance of building instructional units that incorporate metacognition intent processes that contribute to the development of geometric thinking. We show that the implementation of metacognition processes in the initial stages of constructing tailored instructional units will improve students' geometric ability.…
