Villegas, Jose L.; Castro, Enrique; Gutierrez, Jose – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2009
Introduction: Representations play an essential role in mathematical thinking. They favor the understanding of mathematical concepts and stimulate the development of flexible and versatile thinking in problem solving. Here our focus is on their use in optimization problems, a type of problem considered important in mathematics teaching and…

Molina, Marta; Castro, Encarnacion; Castro, Enrique – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2009
Introduction: Moved by our interest in the curricular proposal of integrating algebraic thinking in elementary mathematics, we analyse the understanding of number sentences of a group of elementary students and its evolution when working on solving open and true/false number sentences. Method: We developed a teaching experiment with a group of…
