Abstract | Research has shown that tape diagrams are beneficial for algebra learning. However, it is unclear whether certain visual features of tape diagrams have implications for learning. We investigated, with undergraduate students and math teachers, whether tape diagrams with different visual features (color, presence of outer lines, and position of the constant) differentially support reasoning about equations and whether people have preferences for certain visual features. Variations in visual features did not affect students' or teachers' reasoning accuracy; but each group displayed systematic preferences for most visual features considered. Future research should examine the effects of these visual features on performance while solving equations. (As Provided). |
