Hobbs, Sandy; And Others – Scottish Educational Review, 1980
"Mental work" recorded in primary mathematics classes as part of the Classroom Interaction Process is not a simple, single activity of drill or quiz but a set of overlapping activities with different functions. A more analytical approach to mental work is advocated to enhance its usefulness as a classroom activity. (Author/SJL)

Cai, Jinfa; Kenney, Patricia Ann – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2000
Presents some ideas about how teachers can foster mathematical communication by encouraging students to find multiple solutions to problems. Discusses three problems that help develop communication ability in mathematics. Views communication of multiple solutions as an instructional strategy to help students make sense of mathematics.

Heller, Patricia M.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Investigates the effects of two context variables on the performance of seventh-grade students on a qualitative and numerical proportional reasoning test. Explores the nature of the relationships between rational number skills, qualitative reasoning about ratios, and numerical proportional reasoning. (Author/YP)

Mwangi, Wangari; Sweller, John – Cognition and Instruction, 1998
First of three experiments compared third graders who had studied worked, two-step arithmetic word problems to those learning through conventional problem solving. The former grouped showed superior test performance. In experiments two and three, children presented with integrated worked examples outperformed those presented with split-source…

Koellner-Clark, Karen; Lesh, Richard – School Science and Mathematics, 2003
This paper describes a proportional reasoning problem set within a real-life context and a complete analysis of one small group discussion of this problem over the course of a 90-minute block. The seventh-grade students' discourse is described to provide insights into typical mathematical interpretations of this problem, as well as some…

Jay, Winifred T.; Schminke, Clarence W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Basing their conclusions on studies in which (1) textbook problems were classified by students and parents and (2) texts were coded on several variables (e.g. sexually stereotyped occupations), the authors find textbooks are biased. They suggest several teacher strategies for countering this bias. (SD)
