Problem solving, based on metacognitive learning activities, to improve Mathematical reasoning skills of students

Many studies have linked individual weakness in Mathematical reasoning skills with difficulties in Mathematics problem solving. Some other studies found that, a metacognitive process, based on appropriate mathematical thinking, can help a person to solve Mathematical problems more effectively and me...
