Quality of Explanation as an Indicator of Fraction Magnitude Understanding.

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 71 fourth-grade students at risk for learning to reason about their mathematical thinking and conclusions was used to evaluate their explanations of their mathematical reasoning and conclusions.

Fraction Errors in a Digital Mathematics Environment: Latent Class and Transition Analysis.

Different complex word problems require different combinations of cognitive skills

TL;DR: Results indicate that verbal skills were the most consistent predictor of successful word problem solving in these tasks, arithmetic skills only predicted the correct solution of word problems containing calculations, spatial skills predicted solution rates in the presence of a visual representation, and general reasoning skills were more relevant in simpler problems that could be easily solved using heuristics.

Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than proving results and stress the importance of checking the data, assessing the assumptions, and ensuring adequate sample size so that the results can be generalized.
