Improving Student Higher-Order Thinking Skills in Mathematics [electronic resource] / Jean Butkowski and Others.

This report describes a program for improving higher-order thinking skills in mathematics of (n=17) third-, (n=27) fifth-, and (n=27) sixth-grade students in a middle class community. Three interventions were chosen: (1) cooperative learning to develop student self-confidence and to improve student...

520 |a This report describes a program for improving higher-order thinking skills in mathematics of (n=17) third-, (n=27) fifth-, and (n=27) sixth-grade students in a middle class community. Three interventions were chosen: (1) cooperative learning to develop student self-confidence and to improve student achievement, (2) the instruction of students in mathematical problem-solving strategies, and (3) curriculum revision with the addition of a supplementary program on mathematical problem solving. All strategic solutions were related to improving student cognition and advancing student achievement on higher-order thinking skills. All of the components that contributed to the original problem were reduced as projected: student acquisition of mathematical problem-solving strategies became evident, student confidence levels in mathematics increased, and student achievement on non-routine problems requiring higher order thinking skills improved. Appendices include: problem-solving pre- and post-test results, sample problems, student survey, teacher questionnaire, teacher observation checklist, sample test questions, attitude survey, student evaluation form, student reflection sheet, and sample activities.
