Peer reviewed
Direct linkDerry, Sharon J.; Wilsman, Margaret J.; Hackbarth, Alan J. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2007
Findings from an on-going design experiment within a year-long graduate course for middle school teachers of mathematics are reported. The purpose of the course was to help teachers assist students in transitioning from arithmetic to algebraic reasoning. Goals included developing teachers' ability to interpret, compare, and generalize across…

McVey, Mary D. – 1993
This study investigated the role of problem structure and metacognitive control in the analogical transfer of performance of 40 13- and 14-year-old gifted and highly gifted math students. Average and above average 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds served as comparison groups. Students were given three algebra problems with solutions, followed by two…
