q1 i? During test-plan use of the storyboards, the impasse of inputting implicit partitions and commutations was overcome by switching to puzzles in which children use provided equalities to transform an arithmetical sum into its answer. → Jones 2008

q1 · i? · design · r2

Report from the towards-piloting section: storyboards were used as test plans, and attempts to program addition strategies from the National Curriculum in Action website revealed the impasse, resolved by the switch to puzzle solving.

"The impasse was finally overcome by switching things around: instead of children building on their existing explanations, they would attempt to solve provided puzzles that appealed to their existing explanations."
