The Relationship Between Estimation Skill And Computational Ability Of Students In Years 5, 7 And 9 For Whole And Rational Numbers, Phuntsho Dolma
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This study explored the relationship between estimation skill and computational ability for whole and rational numbers. The methods carried out were both quantitative as well as qualitative and data were collected from three primary schools along with their associated high school in the Perth area. The year levels chosen were 5, 7 and 9. There were two classes from each chosen primary school representing Year 5 and Year 7 and three classes of Year 9 from the high school. The total number of students involved was 91, 77 and 73 from the three respective year levels. Instruments used for collecting …

The Computation Choices Made By Students In Years 5 To 7, Paul Swan
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This study was designed to explore the computation choices made by 78 students in Years 5 to 7. The ability to choose and use a repertoire of computation methods is an important goal of mathematics education. While one might expect to find a great deal of research outlining the computation choices students make and why they make them, this was not the case; and as such it was decided to explore what computation choices students make and why they make them.
