In search for the natural number bias in secondary school students' interpretation of the effect of arithmetical operations
Abstract
Although rational numbers are an essential part of mathematical literacy, they cause many difficulties for students. A major cause is the natural number bias. We examined this natural number bias in secondary school students in two related studies. In Study 1, 8th graders judged the correctness of algebraic expressions that address the effect of operations. The higher accuracy level on congruent items than on incongruent items yielded clear...
