Zhao, Wenmin; Kamuru, Jessica; Otten, Samuel; de Araujo, Zandra – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
What are the substantive differences between flipped and non-flipped instruction? This study examined the instruction of two teachers who have worked together within the same school using the same Algebra 1 curriculum for years. One teacher flipped his instruction (creating lecture videos assigned as homework), while the other teacher continued…

Otten, Samuel; Gilbertson, Nicholas J.; Males, Lorraine M.; Clark, D. Lee – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2014
International calls have been made for reasoning-and-proving to permeate school mathematics. It is important that efforts to heed this call are grounded in an understanding of the opportunities to reason-and-prove that already exist, especially in secondary-level geometry where reasoning-and-proving opportunities are prevalent but not thoroughly…

Otten, Samuel; Zin, Christopher – PRIMUS, 2012
The emergence of non-Euclidean geometries in the 19th century rocked the foundations of mathematical knowledge and certainty. The tremors can still be felt in undergraduate mathematics today where encounters with non-Euclidean geometry are novel and often shocking to students. Because of its divergence from ordinary and comfortable notions of…

Kaplan, Jennifer J.; Otten, Samuel – Mathematics Teacher, 2012
This article introduces an optimization task with a ready-made motivating question that may be paraphrased as follows: "Are you smarter than a Welsh corgi?" The authors present the task along with descriptions of the ways in which two groups of students approached it. These group vignettes reveal as much about the nature of calculus students'…
