A major source of errors in rational number tasks is the inappropriate application of natural
number rules. We hypothesized that this is an instance of intuitive reasoning and thus can …

Abstract “Success stories,” ie, cases in which mathematical problems posed in a controlled
setting are perceived by the problem posers or other individuals as interesting, cognitively …

En el presente artículo analizamos, en primer lugar, los conceptos de pensamiento
matemático y multiplicativo, junto a otras nociones como la de pensamiento relacional o …

Results from 2 relational-priming experiments suggest the existence of an automatic
analogical coordination between semantic and arithmetic relations. Word pairs denoting …

Compare problems involve relationships between quantities. In inconsistent language (IL)
formats, relational terms conflict with solution operations. Lewis and Mayer's (1987) …

This study aims to (i) understand how third grade pupils evolve in the learning of
multiplication within a learning trajectory focused on number sense development, and (ii) to …

In this paper we explore how participation in a constructivist-oriented, classroom aligned
mathematics intervention program advanced the learning and positive dispositions of Grade …

This study contributes to understanding the influence of different problem posing tasks on
the performance of in-service teachers in posing important and worthwhile mathematical …

Multiplicative understanding is essential for mathematics learning and is supported by
models for multiplication, such as equal groups and rectangular area, different calculations …

Intuitive conceptions in mathematics guide the interpretation of mathematical concepts. We
investigated if they bias teachers' conceptions of student arithmetic word problem solving …
