| Abstract: | The relation between types of tasks and the mathematical reasoning used by students trying to solve tasks in a national test
situation is analyzed. The results show that when confronted with test tasks that share important properties with tasks in
the textbook the students solved them by trying to recall facts or algorithms. Such test tasks did not require conceptual
understanding. In contrast, test tasks that do not share important properties with the textbook mostly elicited creative mathematically
founded reasoning. In addition, most successful solutions to such tasks were based on this type of reasoning. |
