Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy

Education Systems

This paper reports on Years 8, 9 and 10 students' knowledge of percent problem types, type of solution strategy, and use of diagrams. Non- and semi-proficient students displayed the expected inflexible formula approach to solution but proficient students used a flexible mixture of estimation, number sense and trial and error instead of expected schema-based classification methods.
