Abstract: The present study used mutiple calibration indices to capture the complex picture of fifth graders'' calibration of feeling of confidence in mathematics. Specifically, the effects of gender, type of mathematical problem, instruction method, and time of measurement (before and after the problem solving) on calibration skills were investigated.
