Behr, Merlyn J.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1988
Children in grades four and five had instruction on fractions with a continuous manipulative aid to help transfer their knowledge to tasks with a discrete manipulative aid. Results suggest that discrete-embodiment tasks are more difficult than continuous-embodiment tasks. (MNS)
