Smyrnis, Eleni; Ginns, Paul; Bobis, Janette – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Learning mathematical concepts and procedures typically requires extended cognitive effort, presenting a challenge for many children. People can make tracing actions with the index finger, as well as mimic another's movements, with little or no conscious effort. From the perspective of cognitive load theory, such biologically primary actions may…

Krause, Gladys; Adams-Corral, Melissa; Maldonado, Luz A. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
In this study we document how a mathematical idea, shared by a student, changes the development of the class discussion. Our work characterizes the flexible and open dynamics in mathematics instruction that a teacher adopts to give her students control of their own mathematical ideas. Our work argues that this flexibility is necessary for teachers…

Agodini, Roberto; Harris, Barbara – Elementary School Journal, 2016
Research shows that some elementary math curricula are more effective than others at increasing student achievement. Most studies in this research base typically included teachers and classrooms that differ, so the results represent "average" curriculum effects, which raises an important question: Are curricula that are effective on…
