Learning to Solve Addition and Subtraction Word Problems Through a Structure-Plus-Writing Approach.
Rudnitsky, Al; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v26 n5 p467-86 Nov 1995
Third- and fourth-grade students (n=401) were taught problem solving through structure-plus-writing, heuristics, or no explicit instruction. The structure-plus-writing group outperformed the heuristics group, and the gap widened 10 weeks after the treatment. Includes sample student-authored problems. (MKR)
