"You Have to Count the Squares": Applying Knowledge in Pieces to Learning Rectangular Area
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Izsak, Andrew – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2005
This article extends and strengthens the knowledge in pieces perspective (diSessa, 1988, 1993) by applying core components to analyze how 5th-grade students with computational knowledge of whole-number multiplication and connections between multiplication and discrete arrays constructed understandings of area and ways of using representations to…
