Peer reviewedCai, Jinfa; Moyer, John C.; Grochowski, Nancy J. – Research in Middle Level Education Quarterly, 1999
Assessed the effectiveness of instruction in promoting sixth-grade students' conceptual understanding of the concept of averages using a leveling model and an open-ended problem-solving approach. Found that students were more capable of using the leveling approach and applying formal averaging algorithm to solve problems than using the open-ended…

Cai, Jinfa; Moyer, John C.; Grochowski, Nancy J. – 1997
Two studies are reported that explore the effectiveness of instruction in promoting students' conceptual understanding of the average concept using a leveling model and an open-ended problem-solving approach. One teacher and her 46 sixth-grade students participated in the first study. One year later, the second study was conducted with the same…
