| description | The paper aims to explore mental calculation strategies and the frequency of
their application in tasks. In the paper, we categorized mental calculation
strategies related to four basic mathematical operations, looked at several
different strategies used by students in a test containing mental calculation
tasks, and presented an overview of the interview results. We also analyzed
age-related differences in the number of strategies applied by participants. It
was found that Mathematics in school does not always contribute to the
development of and flexibility in the use of mental calculation strategies. One
apparent reason is student preference for previously acquired written
algorithms. |
