    "title": "Cognitive Factors and Representation Strategies in Sketching Math Diagrams",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Previous research has shown sketching to be useful to\nstudents solving math problems. The present study\nexamines which aspects of middle school students’\nsketching are related to, or predict, successfully\nanswering math problems. The effects of individual\ndifferences in cognitive factors – working memory,\nspatial ability, and prior math knowledge – on answer\naccuracy are also analyzed. Stepwise regression\nanalysis indicates that prior math knowledge and the\ninclusion of numerical representations of key problem\nrelationships in sketches positively predict answer\naccuracy, whereas including irrelevant relationships in\na sketch is associated with lower answer accuracy.\nMethodological implications for future research are\ndiscussed.",
