Types of Visual-Spatial Representations and Mathematical Problem Solving
Although visual-spatial representations are used extensively in mathematics and spatial ability is highly correlated with success in mathematics education, research to date has not demonstrated a clear relationship between use of visual-spatial representations and success in mathematical problem solving. The authors distinguished 2 types of visual-spatial representations: schematic representati...
متن کاملDiscovering and describing types of mathematical errors
Given a large number of incorrect responses to mathematical exercises, we ask, “What errors might the learner have made to arrive at their answer?” Even though our data does not contain intermediate steps, we find that we are able to infer well over 50% and sometimes over 90% of the types of errors learners make on an exercise when they only supply final answers. Our approach capitalizes on the...
متن کاملDistributed Mathematical Problem Solving
Coupling computer algebra systems and theorem provers enables to extend the capabilities they have when standing alone. We report on an ongoing research project whose long term goal is to provide an open environment for doing mathematics including reasoners and symbolic calculators. It is extensible by users which can construct complex systems by combination and insertion of existing packages. ...
متن کاملProblem solving and mathematical knowledge
This report describes the research goals, and intermediate milestones related to an investigation of the relationship between problem solving and mathematical knowledge in an online mathematics community. The proposal is to build a problem-solving layer over the encyclopedia layer that comprises the central feature of the current PlanetMath.org. Research will proceed by examining the activities...
متن کاملMathematical problem solving by analogy.
We report the results of 2 experiments and a verbal protocol study examining the component processes of solving mathematical word problems by analogy. College students first studied a problem and its solution, which provided a potential source for analogical transfer. Then they attempted to solve several analogous problems. For some problems, subjects received one of a variety of hints designed...
