Children's Strategies for Solving Two- and Three-Dimensional Combinatorial Problems.
English, Lyn D.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v24 n3 p255-73 May 1993
Investigated strategies that 7- to 12-year-old children (n=96) spontaneously applied in solving novel combinatorial problems. With experience in solving two-dimensional problems, children were able to refine their strategies and adapt them to three dimensions. Results on some problems indicated significant effects of age.
