Page: 1641
Mathematics textbooks and mathematics education research articles frame countingproblems as requiring clever insight and being inherently challenging and especially accessible.In this study, we distributed a survey to mathematics students in order to examine studentattitudes about counting problems and the extent to which these attitudes aligned withpresentations of counting in the literature. In this poster, we present results from this survey thathighlight some surprising ways in which the responses did and did not align with the literature.
