Contribution of Equal-Sign Instruction beyond Word-Problem Tutoring for Third-Grade Students with Mathematics Difficulty
Elementary school students often misinterpret the equal sign (=) as an operational rather than a relational symbol. Dr. Powell’s assessed the efficacy of equal-sign instruction within word-problem tutoring for third-grade students with mathematics difficulty. Students provided with equal-sign instruction demonstrated significant gains on equations and word problems.
