Synopsis
This book examines the problem-solving strategies of seventh and eighth-grade students when approaching real-world arithmetic equations. The author provides a framework to help teachers understand how students attempt to solve these problems and how effective—or ineffective—their techniques often are. By looking at the ways in which pupils employ abstract versus concrete reasoning, and how the introduction of either simplified or technical terminology and seemingly irrelevant details impacts the likelihood of finding the correct answer, this book aims to help teachers maximize their students' potential for mathematical success. By thoroughly analyzing thousands of test papers, the author demonstrates that many students do not approach arithmetic problems effectively, and suggests new teaching methods to address this issue.
