Direct linkJiang, Chunlian; Hwang, Stephen; Cai, Jinfa – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
This study examined 361 Chinese and 345 Singaporean sixth-grade students' performance and problem-solving strategies for solving 14 problems about speed. By focusing on students from two distinct high-performing countries in East Asia, we provide a useful perspective on the differences that exist in the preparation and problem-solving strategies…
