Abstract

The aim of this study was to design and field-test instruction intended to help students construct knowledge about addition and subtraction story problems and determine if this knowledge would transfer to actually solving problems. The study tests two related hypotheses: (a) structure-plus-writing instruction will result in improved word-problem solving, and (b) this improvement will be more enduring than that resulting from a more traditional heuristic and practice-based approach.
