Abstract

The ubiquitous practice of providing worked solutions to exercises in mathematics education has been under-researched. Little is known about what elements of a worked solution are valued by students. This exploratory study sought in-depth feedback from six undergraduate students who experienced a range of worked solutions designed to encourage engagement. Elements that were valued included detail, explanation, and choice. Elements of worked solutions with which students did not engage were extension and reflection tasks.
