Behind the scenes of pseudo-proportionalityInternational Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology
(2008)
In this study, we attempt to put in question students’ spontaneous and uncritical application of the simple and neat mathematical formula of linearity. This is impelled with the help of a written test involving geometrical ...
The effects of different modes of representation on problem solving: Two experimental programs
(2006)
This paper explores the effects of two experimental programs on the development of arithmetic problem solving (APS) ability by 6-9 year-old pupils. The programs stimulated flexible interpretation and use of a plurality of ...
La magie et le pouvoir de l'image pour les petits enfants: application dans la resolution des problemes du type additif
(Centre for Experimental Educational Research, 2006)
Eine Studie zur historischen Entwicklung und didaktischen Transposition des Begriffs „absoluter Betrag“Journal für Mathematik-Didaktik: Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM)
(1995)
Part 1 is a study about the evolution of the concept of absolute value in the history of mathematics. It shall allow to identify possible obstacles related to the development of this concept in the pupils mind and to compare ...
Using geometrical models in a process of reflective thinking in learning and teaching mathematics
(1990)
In this paper we investigate how geometrical models can be used in learning and teaching mathematics, in connection with the development of a process of reflective thinking, which we study first in general. Some more ...
Using diagrams as tools for the solution of non-routine mathematical problems
(2009)
The Mathematics education community has long recognized the importance of diagrams in the solution of mathematical problems. Particularly, it is stated that diagrams facilitate the solution of mathematical problems because ...
Ability to translate from one representation of the concept of function to another and mathematical problem solving
(2004)
Representations are used extensively in mathematics and translation ability is highly correlated with success in mathematics education. The authors investigate the translation ability of university students as far as the ...
Students' improper proportional reasoning: A result of the epistemological obstacle of "linearity"
(2007)
The aim of the present study is to provide further evidence that the errors that arise from improper application of the linear model are not random and not easy to overcome. Using three different types of test, we attempt ...
