New Working Paper PostedApril 20, 2009 A recent study of middle school students’ conceptual understanding of algebraic equations revealed two main gaps in their understanding. They lacked a robust understanding of the operation of multiplication, and they had difficulty combining multiple mathematical relationships into coherent stories. Study participants were 257 sixth- and seventh-grade students. They were asked to solve one set of algebraic equations and to generate story problems corresponding with another set of equations. Read the working paper, “Middle School Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Equations: Evidence From Writing Story Problems”.
