Event details
Education seminar
The ways in which children access and interpret mathematical representations can be problematic. Eye-tracking technology can help in this respect because it allows data to be gathered concerning children’s focus of attention and so indicate how children might be interpreting the representations. This presentation presents the results of an eye-tracking study with nine Year 5 primary pupils (aged 10) exploring how they ‘looked at’ representations of multiplication.
