Oesterle, Susan, Ed.; Allan, Darien, Ed. – Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, 2015
This submission contains the Proceedings of the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), held at the Université de Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick. The CMESG is a group of mathematicians and mathematics educators who meet annually to discuss mathematics education issues at all levels of learning. The aims of…

Lindvall, C. M.; And Others – 1982
This study involved the development and experimental tryout of 22 lessons designed to teach 23 primary grade children a set of specific procedures, focusing on the drawing of meaningful diagrams, for analyzing and solving arithmetic story problems. Major dependent variables studied were gain on (1) a 20-item test on stories of the eight types…

Romberg, Thomas A.; Collis, Kevin F. – 1982
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether children in grade 3 who differ in cognitive processing capacity add and subtract differently. The researchers drew upon information from three sources: individual results from a battery of 14 tests, an objective-referenced achievement test measuring a variety of arithmetic skills related to…

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven – 1987
Over the past few years a substantial body of research has yielded evidence that the semantic structure of elementary arithmetic word problems influences children's strategies to solve them. The study reported in this document considered three other task characteristics in addition to semantic structure: (1) the order of presentation of the two…

Romberg, Thomas A.; Collis, Kevin F. – 1987
Summarized are the findings from five studies carried out in Australia in 1979-80. First was a cross-sectional survey designed to determine the memory capacity of a population of children in grades 1-3. The second study investigated performance differences on a variety of mathematically related developmental tasks for the same group. Data from…

Carpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – 1985
This study investigated children's representation of addition and subtraction problems with canonical and noncanonical number sentences, to see whether children would directly represent the structure of a problem if both types of sentences were available. Subjects were 22 first graders and 41 second graders randomly assigned either to a Canonical…

Romberg, Thomas A.; And Others – 1981
The purpose of this study was to relate children's cognitive processing capabilities and their grade level to their performance and to the strategies they used when working addition and subtraction problems. From two sets of data which assessed memory capacity and cognitive processing capacities, six groups of children with different cognitive…

Moser, James M.; Carpenter, Thomas P. – 1982
The focus is on the problem-solving behaviors of primary age children on one-step verbal or story problems involving addition and subtraction. When children are given a simple word problem for which they have not learned the necessary algorithms, they are often able to derive a solution on their own. This report focuses on the child-invented…

Moser, Jim; And Others – 1980
Presented are four interpretive reports and a list of current publications of the Mathematics Work Group at the Wisconsin R&D Center. The first interpretive report gives a brief overview of their work. Reports two through four are concerned with individual interviews, carried out during a longitudinal study, in which primary children are asked to…

Shores, Jay H.; Underhill, Robert G. – 1977
To ascertain if children's use of manipulatives and/or the teacher's presentation of the problem in parts (chunking) affect children's ability to model and/or solve addition and/or subtraction problems, 146 first-grade subjects were administered the Houston Addition and Subtraction Problem-Solving Test which provided accuracy and modeling scores…

Kouba, Vicky L.; And Others – 1980
Reported are data from the first individual interview conducted in 1978 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. The research program is attempting to relate pupil performance on selected arithmetic skills to pupil cognitive processes, instructional materials, and teachers' classroom behaviors. From three…

Kouba, Vicky L.; Moser, James M. – 1980
Reported are data from the second individual interview conducted in 1979 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. From three schools in Wisconsin that used the Developing Mathematical Processes program, l50 first-grade children were individually administered six problem types (two solvable by addition and…

Kouba, Vicky L.; Moser, James M. – 1980
Data are reported from the fourth individual interview conducted in 1979 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. Ninety-nine second-grade children in two schools in Wisconsin that used the Developing Mathematical Processes program were individually administered six problem types (two solvable by addition…

Data are reported from the fifth individual interview conducted in 1980 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. Ninety-six second-grade children in two schools in Wisconsin that used the Developing Mathematical Processes program were individually administerd six problem types (two solvable by addition…
