Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Warren and Cooper concluded that students' understanding of generalization relies on having adequate opportunities to generalize patterns; exposing students to visual growth patterns prepares them to construct algebraic expressions based on their internal mathematical authority.

    “They concluded that students' understanding of generalization relies on having adequate opportunities to generalize patterns; that is, by exposing students to visual growth patterns, they will be prepared to construct algebraic expressions based on their internal mathematical authority.”
  • Warren and Cooper found that although third-grade students were able to think functionally, they expressed visual patterns algebraically as a relationship between subsequent steps rather than between the term of the visual pattern and the step number.

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.
