Hsu, Hui-Yu; Silver, Edward A. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2014
We examined geometric calculation with number tasks used within a unit of geometry instruction in a Taiwanese classroom, identifying the source of each task used in classroom instruction and analyzing the cognitive complexity of each task with respect to 2 distinct features: diagram complexity and problem-solving complexity. We found that…

Li, Hui-Chuan – Research in Mathematics Education, 2012
This paper outlines some preliminary findings from a one-year problem-based learning (PBL) intervention in a Taiwanese elementary mathematics classroom. PBL stands within the philosophy of social constructivism, which emphasises that learning is a social process, not a product. In general, it involves three main characteristics. The first is that…

Fuson, Karen C.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
The grade placement of topics in addition and subtraction was compared across the five countries through analysis of textbooks. "Remarkable" uniformity in grade placement was noted for Japan, China, the Soviet Union, and Taiwan, but the United States differed substantially. (MNS)

Reys, Robert E.; Yang, Der-Ching – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1998
Provides information on the number sense of Taiwanese students in grades six and eight. Indicates that student performance on questions requiring written computation was significantly better than on similar questions relying on number sense. Supports the need to look beyond correct answers when computational test results are reported. Contains 29…
