Nunes et al. examined how children solved arithmetic problems in the context of their jobs as street vendors (informal test) and in the context of a school test (formal test). The results showed:
 
  a. the children were able to apply their school-taught strategies on both the formal and informal tests
  b. the children were able to perform well in the school context but did not perform as well in the street context
  c. the children performed poorly on both types of tests, pointing to the need to improve mathematics education for poor children
  d. the children used different strategies on formal and informal tests

Question 2
