Fourteen problems were designed for a criterion measure, and 52 students in community college intermediate algebra classes were the subjects. Results indicated question placement had no effect. (MP)doi:10.1111/j.1949-8594.1983.tb10097.xJudith Threadgill㏒owderSchool Science and Mathematics
Conclusions and Implications Providing scaffolds for word problem solving is effective in children with DCD. Scaffolds possibly reduce the required cognitive load, making the problem solvable for DCD children that have reduced executive functioning skills....
Undergraduate mathematics students sometimes confuse “and” and “or” in the following fashion: What is the solution set of x2 − 4x + 3 > 0, in the real line? It is {x∈ℝ:x<1}∪{x∈ℝ:x>3}={x∈ℝ:x<1 or x>3}. Thus, the appropriate word is “or”. However...
The code can range up to the value 0x10FFFF, which is the highest character in the 17 planes of Unicode. The only problem with this approach is that some programs use Alt+x for something else (like quit) or the keyboard doesn't have direct access to ASCII alphabetics. ...

We define a light pathsto be a finite sequence of lattice points such that the vector from each point (except the last one) to the next has the form{(±jε,jε)}for some integerj≥0, and each point (except possibly the first and last) belongs to the strip0<x≤L. The vector bet...
We show that it’s not too hard to go from this formula to the solution of the general equation by a simple change of variable, and then apply this to Wallis’ famous cubic equation x^3-2x-5=0. Our solution uses just one simple truncated line of the general series, namely ...
But here, from 1579, is something that looks almost modern, particular being written in English, until you realize that those funny squiggles aren’t x’s—they’re special non-letter characters that represent different powers of the variable. In the early to mid-1600s there was kind of ...
