Dick, Lara K.; Sawyer, Amanda G.; MacNeille, Margaret; Shapiro, Emily; Wismer, Tabitha A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Let's say you are a Grades 3-5 teacher in search of an activity sheet on different fraction notations. A search in May 2022 on the popular resources sharing site TeachersPayTeachers (TpT) yielded 2,832 results, 105 of which were free. With so many options, how would you go about choosing a resource for your students? What would factor into your…

Pan, Yue-Juan; Liu, Shan-Shan; Wang, Yu; Wu, Ni-Wen; Xie, Shuang – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: The present study analyzes whether child factors are linked to variations in teacher cognitive activation (CA) among individual children in math-related activities within Chinese kindergarten classrooms. The findings show that teachers tend to provide direct CA with high concreteness and that child engagement with tasks is…

Black, Laura; Choudry, Sophina; Pickard-Smith, Kelly; Williams, Julian – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
In this paper, we offer a theoretical account of the emotion-cognition dialectic (i.e. the unit of feeling and cognition in thought) in identity formation (or identification), focusing on early childhood and mathematics. We consider how contradictory (emotional-cognitive) experiences which arise in different forms of mathematical activity (a…

Thouless, Helen; Gifford, Sue – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
In this article we compare two frameworks for analysing young children's responses to the task of copying and extending a 6-dot triangle pattern. We used Mulligan & Mitchelmore's Awareness of Mathematical Pattern and Structure (AMPS) and then Biggs & Collis' SOLO taxonomy, both of which provide criteria for assigning levels. In comparison…

Tzekaki, Marianna – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The aim of this paper is to build up an argument about the importance of a mathematical analysis of young children's activity in relevant for the age educational tasks. Most of current approaches (psychological, social, and pedagogical) are limited to the study of the development of children's thinking, paying less attention to the involved…
