Description of Presentation:
Students often misinterpret the equal sign as operational. Researchers hypothesize a lack of exposure to nonstandard equations contributes to this misinterpretation. Second-grade students received instruction with standard and nonstandard equations, and equation solving and equal-sign understanding improved with exposure to nonstandard equations.
