Abstract | A comparison of three approaches to problem solving in fourth grade mathematics is presented. Three classes participated in the study. Class One studied problem solving in a structured classroom setting, Class Two studied problem solving incidentally, and Class Three studied problem solving when it appeared in the text. The structured study of Class One included daily study of a problem solving strategy. The results of the study indicate that problem solving strategies need to be taught in order for children to be able to use them in a consistent and purposeful way. Thought needs to be given to whether or not daily exposure to problem solving experienced by Class One was a major factor in the marked improvement in student scores. (PK) |
