....problems can be solved by analogy. MacDonald, 84] has shown that rudimentary mathematics can be taught effectively via analogical reasoning. MacDonald s experiments did not involve algebra; he concentrated on basic mathematical operations on integers, fractions and decimals. However, Halford and Boulton Lewis, 89] point out that there are limitations to how far analogies can be used for such purposes. According to Gentner s theory [Gentner, 83] analogies entail a structure preserving mapping from a base to a target, and Chapter 2 : Analogical Reasoning 21 Halford and Boulton Lewis suggest that the reason ....
