Recently, there was a study done based on results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results showed that countries who scored higher on the assessment used less memorization techniques in class. I have linked the report as well as an article regarding memorization findings from the report below.
This supports our efforts to teach starting with the concrete level. Students need to know how the numbers work and be able to process through problems rather than apply rules and procedures.
