Computational Estimation Performance and Strategies Used by Fifth- and Eighth-Grade Japanese Students.

Reys, Robert E.; And Others

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v22 n1 p39-58 Jan 1991

Computational strategies and estimating abilities of 466 Japanese students were tested and interviews with a subsample of that group were used to compare with a theoretical model based on a sample from the United States. Results of the comparison of computational and estimating abilities are presented. (CW)
