Nesrin Sahin; Juli K. Dixon; Robert C. Schoen – Grantee Submission, 2020
This observational study used data from 270 second-grade students to investigate the association between students' strategy use for multidigit addition and subtraction and their mathematics achievement. Based on strategies they used during a mathematics interview, students were classified into the following strategy groups: (a) standard algorithm,…

Zhang, Jiayi; Andres, Juliana Ma. Alexandra L.; Hutt, Stephen; Baker, Ryan S.; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Nasiar, Nidhi; Mills, Caitlin; Brooks, Jamiella; Sethuaman, Sheela; Young, Tyron – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2022
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a critical component of mathematics problem-solving. Students skilled in SRL are more likely to effectively set goals, search for information, and direct their attention and cognitive process so that they align their efforts with their objectives. An influential framework for SRL, the SMART model (Winne, 2017),…

Dietz, Charles – Perspectives in Education and Deafness, 1993
Strategies for rapid mental computation are explained, including multiplying by 11 (or 21, 31, etc.); adding columns of numbers; and multiplying 2-digit numbers. Rapid mental computation is suggested as a motivator for investigating the underlying mathematical principles. (DB)

Olson, Alton T. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Following a short introduction on the rationale and purpose for using algorithmic structures in the teaching of algebra, two topics from elementary algebra are presented in relation to control structures from computer programing, specifically: the multiplication of polynomials defined in terms of nested loops, and the distributive property…

Meijer, Joost; Riemersma, Fre – Instructional Science, 1986
Presents thinking-aloud protocols from secondary pupils solving arithmetic story and geometrical problems and analyzes their protocols by using interpretation models founded on a general problem-solving model. A word problem solving simulation is also used to further explicate processes pupils use to solve mathematical tasks. (Author/MBR)

Fleener, M. Jayne; And Others – 1993
Higher order cognitive development and success in the study of high school mathematics and science require an understanding of rational number concepts and facility with proportional reasoning and computation. Proportional reasoning is an essential schema for developing formal operational thought. This study involving 16 ninth-grade students was…
