Abstract | When viewed through a lens of embedded cognition, algorithms may enable aspects of the cognitive work of multi-digit multiplication to be "offloaded" to the environmental structure created by an algorithm. This study analyses four multiplication algorithms by viewing different algorithms as enabling cognitive work to be distributed across environmental and mental resources to varying degrees. This produces a plausible framework which could allow further analysis designed to guide the pedagogical use of alternative algorithms. (As Provided). |
