Ngu et al. (2018) found that students taught to solve algebra transformation problems using the 'balance' strategy had more difficulty solving the problems compared to students taught to use the 'inverse' strategy.
“Ngu et al. (2018) found that students taught to solve algebra transformation problems using the commonly taught 'balance' strategy used in this paper (e.g. x applied to both sides of an equation) had more difficulty solving the problems compared to students taught to use the 'inverse' strategy”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
