PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES OF YOUNG CHILDREN WORKING ON A COMBINATORICS TASK IN A COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT

Source abstract

When young children are provided with a computer environment for solving combinatorial tasks, they can employ various problem-solving strategies that enhance their understanding of the concept. The trial and error method, visual representations, collaboration, immediate feedback, and scaffolding are all strategies that children can utilize in a computer environment to develop their problem-solving abilities. By engaging in interactive and visual activities, children can explore, experiment, and develop a deeper understanding of combinatorics, setting a strong foundation for their mathematical learning.
