Bofferding, Laura; Richardson, Sue Ellen – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Fifteen elementary and secondary teacher candidates solved sixteen integer addition and subtraction problems during think-aloud interviews. Investigators further probed participants' solution strategies as well as what they noticed first when starting a new problem. Task analyses of participants' solutions led to the creation of two distinct maps…
