Write Is Right: Using Graphic Organizers to Improve Student Mathematical Problem Solving
Zollman, Alan
Investigations in Mathematics Learning, v4 n3 p50-60 Spr 2012
Teachers have used graphic organizers successfully in teaching the writing process. This paper describes graphic organizers and their potential mathematics benefits for both students and teachers, elucidates a specific graphic organizer adaptation for mathematical problem solving, and discusses results using the "four-corners-and-a-diamond" graphic organizer with 186 inner-city minority middle school students.
