title = "Vector Addition in Stories: Exploring Knowledge Application After a Concreteness Fading Intervention",
abstract = "Concreteness fading, as an instructional approach, can enable students to develop grounded understandings of new concepts, yet the effects of a concreteness fading intervention have been rarely researched. In this study, we designed a concreteness fading intervention to teach middle schoolers vector addition and added an extra task to allow students to demonstrate their understanding through a storytelling activity. As a result, we discovered that students could develop some understanding of the topic. The stories they created served as a medium to provide them with a context to apply their newly gained knowledge.",
