Abstract | High school students (N=213) of various ability levels enrolled in first-year algebra classes were presented lessons concerning geometry concepts. The lessons were varied according to the degree of complexity of the examples that were presented. Students then were tested over their understanding of the concepts. The test questions ranged from straightforward application of the lesson material to multi-step problems with high computational complexity. Significant main effects were found due to level of test question complexity, level of lesson complexity, and student ability level. Significant interactions also were identified. These results are discussed in terms of planning and presenting lessons in mathematics. (Author/PK) |
