How students process equations in solving quantitative synthesis problems? Role of mathematical complexity in students’ mathematical performance
We examine students’ mathematical performance on quantitative “synthesis problems” with varying mathematical complexity. Synthesis problems are tasks comprising multiple concepts typically taught in different chapters. Mathematical performance refers to the formulation, combination, and simplificati...
