Enhancing the teaching and learning of computational estimation in year 6
There have been repeated calls for computational estimation to have a more prominent position in mathematics teaching and learning but there is still little evidence that quality time is being spent on this topic. Estimating numerical quantities is a useful skill for people to be able to use in …

How Eighth-Grade Students Estimate with Fractions
… at what components are in student solutions to computational estimation problems involving fractions. Past computational estimation research has focused on strategies used for estimating with whole numbers and decimals while neglecting those used for fractions. An extensive literature review …

INFERENCE OF HIDDEN HIERARCHIES FROM OBSERVABLE NETWORKS
… dissertation I propose probabilistic models and computational estimation methods to infer the hierarchical organization of network systems from the observable patterns of interactions among their elements. My formulation is based on the general idea of statistical network reconstruction (Peixoto …

Diffusivity of drug actives in transdermal drug delivery (TDD)
… in a Franz Cell apparatus. Pre-clinical trials computational estimation of the drug's diffusion properties with respect to the polymer matrix and skin will provide for safer clinical trials, with testing dosages that are closer to the therapeutic drug concentration in the blood.

Estimational Abilities and Mathematics Achievement of Seventh Graders
<p>Computational estimation and mental computation are two of the most neglected areas of today's mathematical curriculum. Much has been written about these two concepts, but little instruction has been carried out in the classroom (Johnson, 1979; Reys, 1986). Freeman (cited in Reys & Bestgen, …
