Children Learning Multiplication--Part Two.
O'Brien, Thomas C.; Casey, Shirley A.
School Science and Mathematics, v83 n5 p407-12 May-Jun 1983
Students in grades four-six were asked to complete multiplication examples and write a story problem (reported earlier, SE 533 279). Their stories were categorized in terms of their logic and realism. Many errors were noted, leading to the conclusion that knowledge of multiplication does not necessarily lead to logical multiplication. (MNS)
