Connections is one of the Process Standards set forth by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM 2000), whereby teachers provide students with learning opportunities to "recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics." Similarly, the Standards for Mathematical Practice (NGA Center and CCSSO 2010) call…

Stohlmann, Micah S. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Dude Perfect has one of the most popular YouTube channels in the United States. The task in this article is one of several activities the author has integrated into mathematics lessons in ways that engage students and that are connected to Dude Perfect videos (Stohlmann 2019). The author describes how he planned and implemented purposeful…

Windria, Hening; Zulkardi, Zulkardi; Hartono, Yusuf – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2020
Mixed numbers and fraction in general have been a problem for students not only in understanding the concept of itself, but also in understanding the operation of it, such as addition. Thus, supporting students in learning addition of mixed numbers is needed. The aim of this study is to develop a local instructional theory and materials related to…

Russo, James – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2020
In this article, the author describes how to help develop students' conceptual understanding of fractions through the tactical card-based game Nearest to One. Nearest to One promotes number-sense based strategies for comparing fractions, such as benchmarking (e.g., Is the fraction greater or less than one-half?) and building to the next whole,…

Armstrong, Alayne – Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
The Zen concept of beginner's mind describes how one's level of awareness can open one's mind to growth and possibilities, an attitude that would be beneficial for many mathematics students. In this naturalistic case study, two small groups of middle years students engage in the same mathematical task, one group demonstrating the characteristics…

Waswa, Anne N.; Moore, Kevin C. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
Research in mathematics education has overlooked creativity in mathematics, partially because of a lack of an accepted definition of mathematical creativity. The present study investigates elementary pre-service teachers' (PSTs') conceptions of creativity in teaching and learning mathematics. Data were collected using observations and…

Munson, Jen; Lakshminarayanan, Geetha; Rodney, Thomas J. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Off You Go is a PK-12 mathematical routine that leverages children's home resources and assets to help students take a concept with which they have initial or informal understanding and explore and test its boundaries to support defining or estimating with precision. The authors provide a guide for how to adapt this routine to engage students at…

McFeetors, P. Janelle; MacDonald, Broek – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2020
In this article, the authors explore a number of interesting games as contexts for students learning geometry and enhancing their development of problem solving and reasoning. The games selected were appealing, content-aligned games for approximately four players with simple rules and 10-30 minutes of play time. The games were integrated by…

Viseu, Floriano; Martins, Paula Mendes; Leite, Laurinda – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The current teaching of mathematics is guided by recommendations that suggest the implementation of various activities in order to raise the understanding of mathematical knowledge. This diversity is related to the characteristics of the tasks proposed in the learning contexts. Among all tasks, the modelling ones call for the application of…

Litster, Kristy – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
This study examined how two small-group discourse types (Reflective and Exploratory) supported the inclusion and enacted levels of cognitive demand of students who typically struggle with mathematics in real-world, task-based assessment activities. The study focused on 11 fifth-grade students within a larger study involving 97 fifth-grade students…

Ryan, Ulrika – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
In this article, I examine how a focus on preciseness in the mathematics classroom could affect group activity. The preciseness relates to the ways mathematical concepts, in this case angles are described in discourse between students. In this context, I consider how 'micro-invalidations', can limit students' opportunities to learn in a social and…

Algebraic thinking is a method of solving math problems that stresses the significance of general connections. Excellent algebraic thinking necessitates strong symbolization and generalization ability. Students aged 7 to 15 are at the Piaget thinking stage's formal operational stage. Teachers, especially those working with secondary school…
