The Acquisition of Inverse Proportionality: A Training Experiment.

Ferrandez-Reinisch, Anne-Marie

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v16 n2 p132-40 Mar 1985

A model is proposed in which the quantification of inverse proportionality is developed beyond the initial qualitative relation. Based on a task analysis, the model was tested with 36 eleven-year-old students in a training experiment using a balance task. (MNS)
