Improving Mathematics Learning: Lessons form Cross-National Studies of Chinese and U.S. Students.
Cai, Jinfa
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n5 p400-04 Jan 2001
Suggests ways researchers can use international comparisons to improve student learning, using math performance of U.S. and Chinese sixth-graders on four types of tasks. Chinese students did better on computation; U.S. students excelled at process (open performance) assessment tasks. U.S. kids need to develop symbolic and algebraic thinking. (MLH)
