Using Alternative Multiplication Algorithms to "Offload" Cognition
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Jazby, Dan; Pearn, Cath – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
When viewed through a lens of embedded cognition, algorithms may enable aspects of the cognitive work of multi-digit multiplication to be "offloaded" to the environmental structure created by an algorithm. This study analyses four multiplication algorithms by viewing different algorithms as enabling cognitive work to be distributed…
