Children's Solutions to Multiplication and Division Word Problems: A Longitudinal Study.
Mulligan, Joanne
Mathematics Education Research Journal, v4 n1 p24-41 1992
Children's (n=70) solution strategies to a variety of multiplication and division word problems were analyzed to determine performance levels and strategies used. Solution strategies were classified at three levels: direct modeling with counting; no direct modeling with counting, additive, or subtractive strategies; and use of known derived facts. Includes an index of 17 solution strategies. (56 references) (MDH)
