Learning of Ratio and Proportion Problem-Solving Using Schema-Based Instruction: Efficacy and Sustainability
The mathematics performance of U.S. students by Grade 8 is below the international average on more advanced mathematics topics including geometry, measurement, and proportionality. One explanation for the lower levels of performance may be students' difficulties with proportional reasoning, which is considered to be a capstone of elementary mathematics and a necessity for the more advanced mathematics that students encounter in high school and college. Building upon work from a prior IES Goa...

Using Contrasting Examples to Support Procedural Flexibility and Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics
In this project, researchers proposed to develop and evaluate an instructional approach that uses contrasting examples in order to foster flexible mathematical problem solving. Flexible problem solving requires that students integrate the procedural knowledge that they have gained of specific actions for solving problems with conceptual knowledge of general mathematical principles. The instructional approach asks students to compare solution procedures in the context both of algebra problem ...
