Mitchelmore, Michael C.

Learning and Instruction, v7 n1 p1-19 Mar 1997

Studied the informal knowledge of 36 seven-year-old children of a variety of physical angle situations represented by physical models. Children had an excellent knowledge of all the situations presented, but specific features of each situation strongly hindered recognition of the common features that define the angle concept. (SLD)
