Situation Model, Text Base and What Else? Factors Affecting Problem Solving.

Peer reviewed

Nesher, Pearla; Hershkovitz, Sara; Novotna, Jarmila – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2003

Identifies factors affecting problem solving strategies in the case of a multiplicative comparative situation involving three unknown quantities whose sum is known, and in which comparison relations between two pairs of the quantities are given. Proposes a model of the complexity of a word problem about such situation to analyze solution…

Some Implications of the Results of a Case Study for the Design of Pre-Constructed, Dynamic Geometry Sketches and Accompanying Materials.

Peer reviewed

Sinclair, Margaret P. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2003

Investigates the benefits and limitations of using pre-constructed, web-based, dynamic geometry sketches in activities related to deductive proof at the secondary school level. Focuses on the relationship between the design of materials and the exploration process. Draws attention to the idea that pre-constructed dynamic geometric sketches and…
