Constructivism, Factoring, and Beliefs.
Rauff, James V.
School Science and Mathematics, v94 n8 p421-26 Dec 1994
Discusses errors made by remedial intermediate algebra students in factoring polynomials in light of student definitions of factoring. Found certain beliefs about factoring to logically imply many of the errors made. Suggests that belief-based teaching can be successful in teaching factoring. (16 references) (Author/MKR)
