Collis, Kevin F.; And Others
Mathematics Education Research Journal, v5 n2 p107-23 Dec 1993
Assessments of (n=16) year 9 and 10 advanced mathematics students while they solved mathematics problems indicated that the nature of the problem was a basic factor in determining the type of solution strategy used. Strategies were broadly classified into Ikonic or Concrete Symbolic categories. (31 references) (MKR)
