We examine whether the array representation can support children’s understanding and reasoning in multiplication. To begin, we define what we mean by understanding and reasoning. We adopt a ‘representational-reasoning’ model of understanding, where u... Read More about The array representation and primary children's understanding and reasoning in multiplication.
