Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Battista, Michael T. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1998
Investigates the development of shape concepts within an instructional unit on geometric paths, including the role of noncomputer and computer interactions in that development. Concludes that the computer environment and the activities facilitated students' development of their conceptualizations of the properties of geometric shapes and their…

Describes a study of third-grade students (N=38) that investigates the development of linear measurement concepts. Three levels of strategies were identified: visual guessing, hash marks, and no physical partitioning. Students who connected numeric and spatial representations proved to be the better problem solvers. Contains 22 reference. (DDR)

Building Blocks is a National Science Foundation-funded project designed to enable all young children to build a solid foundation for mathematics. To ensure this, we used a design and development model that drew from theory and research in each phase. Our design process is based on the assumption that curriculum and software design can and should…
