Rohrer, Doug; Dedrick, Robert F.; Burgess, Kaleena – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
In a typical mathematics course, the material is divided into many lessons, and each lesson is followed by an assignment consisting of practice problems. Most commonly, each assignment consists solely of problems on the preceding lesson. For example, a lesson on ratios might be followed by an assignment with 12 problems on ratios. In other words,…
