Peer reviewedCarr, Ken; Katterns, Bob – Mathematics in School, 1984
This study involved 179 9-year-olds and 352 13-year-olds in New Zealand. Four addition and four subtraction tasks were set to ascertain students' ability to use the number line. Comparison of these data with results from the national assessment in the United States are given. (MNS)
