Table 1 Transfer question strategy codes and sample responses
From: Finding formulas: Does active search facilitate appropriate generalization?
Strategy code | Sample response |
|---|---|
Adapt | “Number of sides minus 2 … I have to change that. The number of sides minus 4 times the number of shapes plus 6” |
Overgeneralize | “I’d start by counting the number of shapes. It’s 2 rows of 5 so 10. The shapes are hexagons, so 4 times 10 is 40 plus 2 is 42” |
Other | Counting, skip-counting, or other solutions |
