Joana Conceição; Margarida Rodrigues – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Can You Build It? is an engaging Improve It! task that asks children to construct 3D shapes based on 2D depictions. Students' initial 3D creations often need revision, and as they build and re-build, they develop spatial relationships. This task was implemented in a first-grade class, connected to composing 3D geometric shapes to address the…

Martin A. Simon – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical concepts have been a consensus goal for decades, yet there is little consensus on what is meant by the terms "mathematical concept" and "mathematical understanding." This article attempts to discuss these terms in a way that can be of practical use to teachers. Greater clarity on "mathematical concept"…

Sükrü Ilgün; Zehra Dastan; Esra Altintas – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of mathematical modeling activities using the history of mathematics on students' anxiety in geometry instruction. The study was conducted with 7th-grade students (n=30) studying in a public school during the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. In the research, nested mixed pattern from…

Kotaro Komatsu; Shogo Murata; Andreas J. Stylianides; Gabriel J. Stylianides – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
"Assumptions" play a fundamental role in disciplinary mathematical practice, especially concerning the relativity of truth. However, much is still unclear about ways to help students recognize key aspects of this role. In this paper, we propose a set of principles for task design to introduce students to the role of assumptions in…

Alberto Arnal-Bailera – PRIMUS, 2024
This article presents a reflection on a teaching experience involving the use of the Brügner tangram, an interesting but little-known manipulative material. It details an activity conducted as part of an undergraduate mathematics education course for prospective primary school teachers. The main objective of this paper is to present the…

Mirit Rachamim; Abraham Berman; Boris Koichu – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The research question studied in this paper is how teachers' task designing can be enhanced in professional development. We show that this can be done by scaffolding. Scaffolding is used in problem solving and we apply it by considering designing a task as a problem. In the paper, we describe a professional development of four teachers led by a…

Joe Champion; Ann Wheeler; Josephine Derrick; David Gardner – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
This article describes a hands-on geometric tiling art activity used in two third-grade classes and four fifth-grade classes in a rural public elementary school with class sizes of around 20 students each. The lesson investigates concepts in geometry, number sense, and probability. Examples of student work and takeaways for other teachers…

Ng, Oi-Lam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this paper, I discuss the potential transformations to teach K-12 geometry topics with the technology of 3D Pens, which enabled 3D models to be created instantly via one's moving hands. I draw on an example of using constructionist learning activities with 3D Pens to teach young children, 'how tall is the triangle?'

Del Zozzo, Agnese; Santi, George – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
We present a theoretical study that allows us to attempt framing in an embodied perspective the effectiveness of the drawing robot GGBot in the learning of geometry. The aim of the article is to set the intertwining of activity, semiotics, perception, and knowledge at the crossover of Radford's theory of objectification (TO) and Borba and…

Elif Ertem Akbas; Lütfiye Yildirm – Online Submission, 2024
The fact that the mathematics course is abstract, that it is not possible to associate it with daily life, and that it is impossible to concretize abstract expressions causes a prejudice against the this course and leads to a decrease in the academic achievements of students. It is seen that throughout history, various studies have been carried…

Harbour, Kristin E.; Livers, Stefanie D. – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
This article presents activities focused on developing some essential Year 1-3 fraction understandings (i.e., joining/composing, decomposing/ partitioning) while aligning these activities to the Australian Curriculum content strands and content descriptions. Additionally, the authors describe the materials/resources needed, the key vocabulary…

Soto, Hortensia – PRIMUS, 2022
In this paper, I share an activity that reinforces students' understanding of translations, reflections, and rotations via body movement. As a result of this activity, students gain a different perspective compared to previous explorations on paper, communicate mathematics, and visualize transformations as rigid motions on the plane. Furthermore,…

Laksmiwati, Pasttita Ayu; Hidayah, Miftahul; Schmidthaler, Eva; Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra; Sabitzer, Barbara; Lavicza, Zsolt – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2023
Nowadays, digital technologies are crucial in supporting students in geometry in secondary mathematics classrooms. However, in some cases, the role of visual function in technology was only utilized for seeing and conjecturing, not for experimenting, while to develop a relational understanding of geometry concepts, students should actively…

Angela R. Crawford; Aysia Kernin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study explores volitional and affective responses to instructional activities aimed at developing geometric and spatial vocabulary of a neurodivergent student. Using teaching experiment methodology across 15 instructional sessions, we observed how the student responded to games, direct instruction, and vocabulary support embedded in spatial…

Özyildirim Gümüs, Feride; Zeybek, Nilüfer; Aydin, Seyda – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of activity-enriched geometry teaching methods on elementary school students' perceptions, attitudes and self-efficacy towards geometry. In this context, the mixed method was determined to be the research design. Within the scope of the study, a training process was carried out with 22 students who…
