    "abstract": "Problem presentation can influence students’ understanding,\nchoice of strategy, and accuracy. For example, the presence\nand type of external representation can alter performance. In\nthis study, we examined the effect of diagrams on students’\nperformance in a symbolic problem domain. Sixty-one\nseventh-grade students solved algebraic equations with or\nwithout an accompanying diagram. The presence of diagrams\nincreased accuracy and use of informal strategies. Overall, the\nbenefits of diagrams found for word problems generalized to\nsymbolic problems",
