Self Learning of Negative Number Concepts by Lower Division Elementary Students through Solving Computer-Provided Numerical Problems.

Hativa, Nira; Cohen, Dorit

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v28 n4 p401-31 Jun 1995

Two fourth-grade classes served in a study that employed computers for promoting autonomous learning processes through solving challenging problems adapted to students' aptitudes using the number line as an intuitive model. Findings showed that students have preinstructional intuitions and informal knowledge of negative numbers. (24 references) (Author/MKR)
