Esther S. Levenson; Ruthi Barkai; Anas Mahamid; Sigal Levy – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study examines the solutions of 34 kindergarten children as they create equal groups from n bottle caps, where n was equal to 8, 9, 22, and 23. For each n, children were asked to find as many different solutions as possible. The number of solutions they found, i.e., children's fluency, as well as the strategies used to create equal groups,…
