Hierarchical Ordering of Schematic Knowledge Relating to Area-of-Rectangle Problems.
Low, Renae; Over, Ray
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n1 p62-69 Mar 1992
Schematic knowledge was assessed by asking 195 ninth and tenth graders to classify area-of-rectangle problems in terms of whether the text provided insufficient, sufficient, or irrelevant information for solution. The hierarchical ordering of templates for the area of a rectangle is demonstrated, and implications for mathematics instruction are discussed. (SLD)
