Third Graders' Interpretations of Equality and the Equal Symbol.
Saenz-Ludlow, Adalira; Walgamuth, Catherine
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v35 n2 p153-87 Feb 1998
Analyzes the interpretations of equality and the equal symbol of third grade children who participated in a year-long, whole-class socio-constructivist teaching experiment. Concludes that children expanded their conceptualizations of equality due to an active role in class discussions and the arithmetical tasks that took into account children's difficulties. Contains 17 references. (Author/ASK)
