The Line-Diagram (LD) was used as teaching strategy to investigate the impact on 5th grade students’ learning performance of algebraic word problems. Quasi-experimental method was adopted and 60 students from two classes participated in this study, one class assigned as experimental group with LD teaching, and the other control group with traditional teaching. After 8-lesson instruction in two weeks, mathematical cognitive test, designed by researchers, was used to exam the influence of LD on students’ learning performance. The results indicated that in the experimental group, students’ performance were significantly better than the control group on the post-test and extended-test. Moreover, the middle-achievement students showed more obvious progress on learning. They tried to understand the relationship among numbers by drawing line-diagram, which helped them to solve the problem successfully. For the control group, it was easy for students to use key-words and functional reciprocal strategy to solve the problem in the post-test, partly because their memory was still fresh enough. However, it became difficult for them in the extended test. |
