Using the jar model to improve students’ understanding of operations on integers

The focus of this paper is to report on a study that assess students’ knowledge and understanding of integers before and after the invention teaching using the ‘jar model’. The paper will concentrate on the kind of errors students make in learning integers and how the ‘jar model’ was supposed to enh...
