Maria Blanton; Angela Murphy Gardiner – Grantee Submission, 2024
Learning standards such as the "Common Core State Standards for Mathematics" [CCSSM] (NGA Center & CCSSO, 2010) advocate that we develop students' algebraic thinking "beginning in kindergarten." Such a tall order requires innovative approaches that re-imagine what teaching and learning mathematics means for the elementary…

Zeycan Kama; Mine Isiksal Bostan; Zelha Tunç Pekkan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study investigates sixth-grade Turkish students' pattern-generalization approaches among arithmetical generalization, algebraic generalization, and naïve induction. A qualitative case study design was employed. The data was collected from four sixth-grade students through the Pattern Questionnaire (PQ) and individual interviews based on the…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Ennassiri, Brahim; Abouhanifa, Said; Elkhouzai, Elmostapha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasoning and symbolisations used by sixth grade Moroccan students in solving a task based on figurative patterns. Our analysis aims at identifying the systems of actions elaborated by the students to give the general expression of the sequence, according to their perceptions of the sequence of its patterns.…

Druken, Bridget Kinsella – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2023
Although lesson study has been shown to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics, little research has focused on reasons for engaging in it from a teacher's perspective, particularly after sustained engagement with lesson study. This qualitative study reports on thirty-three teachers from the United States who were involved in twelve…

Penner, Andrew M.; Domina, Thurston; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Grantee Submission, 2014
Current educational policies in the United States attempt to boost student achievement and promote equality by intensifying the curriculum and exposing students to more advanced coursework. This paper investigates the relationship between one such effort -- California's push to enroll all 8th grade students in Algebra -- and the distribution of…

Domina, Thurston; Penner, Andrew M.; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Teachers College Record, 2014
Background/Context: Across the United States, secondary school curricula are intensifying as a growing proportion of students enroll in high-level academic math courses. In many districts, this intensification process occurs as early as eighth grade, where schools are effectively constraining their mathematics curricula by restricting course…

Napaphun, Vishnu – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2012
Trends in the curriculum reform propose that algebra should be taught throughout the grades, starting in elementary school. The aim should be to decrease the discontinuity between the arithmetic in elementary school and the algebra in upper grades. This study was conducted to investigate and characterise upper elementary school students…

Bleiler, Sarah K.; Thompson, Denisse R. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2012
Given the recent release and widespread state adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), teachers across the country now have common goals related to what their students should understand about particular mathematical topics. The authors of CCSSM explain, "Asking a student to understand something means asking a teacher to…
