The Effects of Rigidity on School Geometry Learning.
Hoz, Ron
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v12 n2 p171-90 May 1981
This study attempts to explain certain difficulties which ninth grade students face in tackling geometrical "problems to prove," by relating them to general and to specific rigidity and cognitive style variables. The results confirm the conceptual analysis of Geometric Rigidity (GR). (MP)
