Linking Transformation and Problem Atomization in Algebraic Problem-Solving

The transition from arithmetic to algebra requires students to change both their thinking and the way they learn. We often observe students using arithmetic formalism also when solving algebraic problems. This formalism manifests itself primarily in the acquisition of coherent computational procedures. Students must be sufficiently aware that the computation …
