2007, p. 115). Likewise, a study by Wyndhamm and Saljo found that young algebra learners were more successful in their problem-solving efforts when collaborating in a group environment. According to these researchers, "An experiment involving 14 small groups of Swedish students (usually 3 per group) aged 10, 11, and 12 years shows that these students acting in groups and creating shared contextualizations were able to solve mathematics word problems

human mind is presented with a problem, several processes may come into play depending on the difficulty and the nature of the problem (mrscook, 2012). The four main cognitive functions defined by Jung are sensing, intuition, thinking, and feeling (mrscook, 2012). Some or all of these processes may be used in the human being problem solving process (Heylighen, 1988). These cognitive processes are utilized singly or in combination with

Teacher Gestures Affect Student Problem Solving Learning is a process of brain development and change that is caused by diverse factors contributing to the learning experience of humans. Such includes mechanisms like speech and gestures. This paper aims to study and provide information on the role of gesture mechanism in the learning process of students. From written articles and previous studies, this paper aims to gather and analyze data on how

This engaged the whole class, regardless of their previous comfort level with mathematics. Graphing was also helpful for students to visualize what things really 'meant' in terms of the numbers they were studying. Communication Solving word problems as a class in a hands-on fashion forced all students to communicate with one another about mathematics. This increased student comfort levels and generated a collective interest in the mathematical solving process. Students were given

China's Intellectual Property Rights: Current Issues, Strategic Considerations And Problem Solving In this paper, the focus is primarily on the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) that are given to individuals within the Republic of China. The paper starts off by defining IPR and the different ways that IPR is provided like copyright infringement. The paper them moves on to define IPR and its progression in China through the imperialistic years, the era
