The Number Line as a Representation of Decimal Numbers: A Research with Sixth Grade Students
(International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004)
One of the aims of mathematics instruction is to achieve the understanding of mathematical concepts through the development of rich and well organized cognitive representations (Goldin, 1998; NCTM, 2000; DeWindt-King, & ...
Assessing Student Problem-Solving Skills
(Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2003)
This study examines the construct validity of the Mathematical Patterns Test using data from 848 Cypriot primary school students. Descriptive analyses across 5 age groups suggested a developmental structure of individual ...
Problem solving and problem posing in a dynamic geometry environment
(The University of Montana, 2005)
In this study, we considered dynamic geometry software (DGS) as the tool that mediates students' strategies in solving and posing problems. The purpose of the present study was twofold. First, to understand the way in which ...

The Use of Diagrams in Solving Non Routine Problems
(International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004)
This paper explores the role of diagrams in a specific problem solving process. Two types of tests were administered to 194, 12 year old students, each of which consisted of six non-routine problems that could be solved ...
Are registers of representations and problem solving processes on functions compartmentalized in students' thinking?
(2006)
The purpose of the present study is twofold: first, to review and summarize previous research on the compartmentalization of different registers of representations and problem solving approaches related to the concept of ...
The Effects of Different Modes of Representation on Mathematical Problem Solving
(International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004)
The main objective of this study is to investigate the role of four different modes of representation in mathematical problem solving (MPS), and more specifically to develop a model, which provides information about the ...
Problem solving and cognitive foundations for program development: an integrated model
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper addresses the interdependence among problem solving, cognition, and program development. The goal is to present a coherent and complete theoretical model which can serve as a basis for program development ...
