Donovan, Andrea Marquardt; Fyfe, Emily R. – Educational Psychology, 2022
Children often learn abstract mathematics concepts with concrete manipulatives. The current study compared different ways of using specific manipulatives -- base-ten blocks -- to support children's place value knowledge. Children (N = 112, M age = 6.88 years) engaged in place value learning activities in one of four randomly assigned conditions in…

Bouck, Emily C.; Park, Jiyoon; Bouck, Mary; Alspaugh, Jim; Spitzley, Stacey; Buckland, Angela – Current Issues in Middle Level Education, 2019
Response to Intervention (RtI) has become a common support system for students; yet, no universal RtI model exists, especially for mathematics and specifically at the secondary level. This article focuses on a specific model for delivering Tier 2 mathematics supports and services at the secondary level: math labs. Evidence--based and…

Scalco, Karina C.; Talanquer, Vicente; Kiill, Keila B.; Cordeiro, Marcia R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
We present the results of a qualitative research study designed to explore differences in the types of reasoning triggered by information presented to chemistry students in two different formats. One group of students was asked to analyze a sequence of images designed to represent critical elements in the explanation of a target phenomenon.…

Triantafillou, Chrissavgi; Spiliotopoulou, Vasiliki; Potari, Despina – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
The present study explores reasoning and argumentation in Greek mathematics and physics texts in specific topics related to the notion of periodicity. In our study, argumentation is taken as the sequence of the modes of reasoning (MsoR) that an author develops in a text when organizing and presenting new knowledge. Inductive content analysis was…

Saint-Dizier de Almeida, Valérie; Colletta, Jean-Marc; Auriac-Slusarczyk, Emmanuelle; Specogna, Antonietta; Simon, Jean-Pascal; Fiema, Gabriela; Luxembourger, Christophe – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2016
The paper proposes a theoretical and methodological framework based on a pluralistic, concerted approach to the study of activities that take place in and through speech interactions. The framework has a general scope, applying to any collective activity taking form through language interactions. It contributes to a fuller understanding of the…

Stephan, Michelle L. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2009
This article gives a general overview of an alternative instructional sequence that can be used to teach integer concepts and operations. The sequence follows three heuristics from Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) that encourage curricula to be reinforced with real-world applications (financial net worth): move students gradually, yet…
