    This study examined the impact of the order of teaching approaches on student abilities. Group 1 (n=22) received multiple representations followed by traditional algorithms. Group 2 (n=21) received these in reverse order. Results indicated ability gains for both groups however comparisons of effect size found larger growth gains for Group 1.
