Jérôme Proulx, « On students’ ways of dealing with area and perimeter’s relation », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'éducation, ID : 10670/1.8rizs3
This paper reports on an experiment conducted in Grade-7 classrooms, where students solved tasks about area and perimeter in a mental mathematics environment. The analysis of students’ ways of solving highlights three types of approaches: localized, globalized, and flexible-curve strategies. Close examination of these points to how students’ detachment from the figure, as well as their fluency to navigate between 1D and 2D, acted as key elements for solving tasks on area and perimeter.
