Hopkins, Sarah; de Villiers, Celeste – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
Despite the importance placed on how children come to solve single-digit addition problems, many children count on to solve these problems when they are expected to use accurate retrieval-based strategies. In this study, we assessed if a subitising intervention improved the rate at which problem-solving practice promoted retrieval, using a…

Gasco, Javier; Villarroel, Jose Domingo; Zuazagoitia, Dani – International Education Studies, 2014
The teaching and learning of mathematics cannot be understood without considering the resolution of word problems. These kinds of problems not only connect mathematical concepts with language (and therefore with reality) but also promote the learning related to other scientific areas. In primary school, problems are solved by using basic…
