Projektbeschreibung

A conditional consists of two parts, an antecedent A and a consequent C. In the traditional interpretation, A is sufficient, but not necessary for C (Evans & Over, 2004).
Conditionals can be phrased in different ways, for example If A, then C, or C, if A. Conditionals can also be phrased with or without the negation of antecedent and consequent. In relation to these two aspects, phrasings are often different between and within mathematics textbooks for elementary as well as secondary school students.
Thus, in a first step, we investigate (a) if there is an impact of the way of phrasing on elementary school students' skills to draw correct inferences, and (b) if scaffolds that refer to specific mental actions for abstracting the logic of conditional statements (based on a model by Dawkins and Norton, 2022) support elementary school students' reasoning.
