Providing all students with equitable treatment and access has been a cornerstone of mathematics education reform (Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, 2015; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014). Studies in mathematics classrooms show that using hands-on and interactive materials (i.e., "manipulatives") support…

Providing effective mathematics instruction to learners with disabilities is challenging enough in a classroom. Providing the same level of high quality instruction can be more difficult in an online environment. This article describes an effective use of virtual tools for mathematics that can both engage students and provide the supports they…

Norton, Anderson; Ulrich, Catherine; Bell, Martha Ann; Cate, Anthony – The Mathematics Educator, 2018
The emerging field of mathematics educational neuroscience provides researchers with new approaches to understanding mathematical development, as well mathematics itself. This paper focuses on the role of the hand in constructing mathematics through activity. We rely on Piaget's distinction of three kinds of activity: sensorimotor activity,…

Nakawa, Nagisa; Kusaka, Satoshi; Kosaka, Masato; Watanabe, Koji; Baba, Takuya – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
One of the biggest challenges for primary school children is moving beyond the use of counting in calculation. The purpose of this study was to investigate how Zambian Grade 1 to Grade 4 children at primary school see a group of 10 as an effective pattern and structure with the given concrete material. The study consisted of three phases…

Rahaman, Jeenath; Agrawal, Harshit; Srivastava, Nisheeth; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Cognitive Science, 2018
Manipulation of physical models such as tangrams and tiles is a popular approach to teaching early mathematics concepts. This pedagogical approach is extended by new computational media, where mathematical entities such as equations and vectors can be virtually manipulated. The cognitive and neural mechanisms supporting such manipulation-based…

Crompton, Helen; Grant, Melva R.; Shraim, Khitam Y. H. – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
Empirical evidence indicates that students are not learning geometry with relational understanding of the concepts. Studies have shown that digital technologies can support students in mathematics. The purpose of this study was to find which technologies and technological affordances are specific to learners of geometry. This paper presents the…

Bullock, Emma P.; Shumway, Jessica F.; Watts, Christina M.; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
The purpose of this study was to contribute to the research on mathematics app use by very young children, and specifically mathematics apps for touch-screen mobile devices that contain virtual manipulatives. The study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design, in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected in parallel, analyzed…

Klingenberg, Oliv G. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2012
Introduction: The study presented here investigated the ways in which students who read braille were able to complete geometric tasks and how they constructed mental representations of the shapes of objects. Methods: Data were collected in an educational experiment conducted as a geometry course for students who read braille. A case study approach…

McNeil, Nicole M.; Uttal, David H.; Jarvin, Linda; Sternberg, Robert J. – Learning and Instruction, 2009
How do concrete objects that cue real-world knowledge affect students' performance on mathematics word problems? In Experiment 1, fourth- and sixth-grade students (N = 229) solved word problems involving money. Students in the experimental condition were given bills and coins to help them solve the problems, and students in the control condition…
