Direct linkLu, Lianfang; Richardson, Kerri – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2018
This article investigates two children's intuitive thinking in solving multiplication problems from different educational backgrounds. One of the children is in a southern elementary school in the US. He was given the same problems both in first and second grades. The other child was a first grader in a southwest region of China, and she was given…

Alexander, Patricia A.; Zhao, Hongyang; Sun, Yuting – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
In this study, we analyzed the imprecise (i.e., less mathematically precise) responses that 148 third- to fifth-grade Chinese students made on selected-response problems that were part of a spontaneous mathematical focusing task, the Quantitative Relations Test for Chinese Children (QRTC[superscript 2]). The purpose for this analysis was to…

Jiang, Chunlian; Hwang, Stephen; Cai, Jinfa – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
This study examined 361 Chinese and 345 Singaporean sixth-grade students' performance and problem-solving strategies for solving 14 problems about speed. By focusing on students from two distinct high-performing countries in East Asia, we provide a useful perspective on the differences that exist in the preparation and problem-solving strategies…

Xin, Yan Ping; Liu, Jia; Zheng, Xiaoning – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
This study compared one lesson across four U.S. "traditional" textbook series, two U.S. reform-based textbook series, and one Chinese mathematics textbook series in teaching the connection between multiplication and division. The results showed the differences across U.S. and Chinese lessons in both the teaching and the practice parts of…

Peer reviewedLeFevre, Jo-Anne; Liu, Jing – Mathematical Cognition, 1997
Examines adults from China and Canada solving single-digit multiplication problems. Reports that Chinese adults were faster and made fewer errors than Canadian adults, and Chinese adults made more errors that reflect verbal-production processes that may occur after retrieval whereas Canadian adults made more errors that reflect retrieval…
