Anna C. Strauss; Jenna G. Waggoner; Mhret D. Wondmagegne; Tutita M. Casa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The authors wondered if there was a way to support their reluctant Grades 4, 5, and 6 students in contributing their starting points and strategies and advancing their collective knowledge. They wanted to ensure that the students had the space to develop and take ownership of the strategies they produced through a visual representation of ideas…

Maria Nielsen Stewart; Noah Brown; Amber Candela; Samuel Otten; Zandra de Araujo – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The authors developed an instructional nudges as part of a larger research project. These instructional nudges are designed to be small but powerful changes to teachers' existing practices. Some instructional nudges focus on modifying tasks used in classrooms. In this article, the authors share Rate and Review. The goal of Rate and Review is to…

Karen S. Karp; Sarah B. Bush; Barbara J. Dougherty – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Even though there is a great temptation as teachers to share what is known, many are aware of an idea called "rules that expire" (RTE) and have realized the importance of avoiding them. There is evidence that students need to understand mathematical concepts and that merely presenting rules to carry out in a procedural and disconnected…

Jonathan Brown; Erin Turner; Delia Sotelo Fierros – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical modeling involves using mathematics to represent, analyze, and make predictions or decisions about real- world situations. Garfunkel and Montgomery (2016) elaborate on six components of the mathematical modeling process, including identifying the problem, making assumptions and identifying variables, doing the math, analyzing and…
