Abstract:
This paper reports on our ongoing research on the teaching and learning of averages in secondary mathematics education based on a questionnaire that combine open-ended and multiple-choice questions. Analysis has led us to note that many students who choose the correct answers in multiple-choice questions were completely unable to demonstrate any reasonable method of solving related open questions.
