چکیده

Cognitive modeling can be used to compare alternative instructional strategies and to guide the design of curriculum materials. We modeled two alternative strategies for fraction division, and the models led to specific empirical predictions of the benefits and drawbacks of each strategy. These insights provided concrete suggestions for developing lessons on fraction division, including a new potential strategy that combines the benefits of the two strategies. This on-going work illustrates the potential of cognitive modeling for informing the design of better mathematics curricula.
