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…

Manouchehri, Azita; Sanjari, Azin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
We analyzed 5th grade students' interactions with one computer-based modeling simulation to examine how they defined and prioritized variables in a dynamically simulated environment. Results revealed that exposure to the simulation environment helped students visualize continuous motions, interpret the different quantities present in the model,…

Downton, Ann; Wright, Vince – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This study explored the potential of a rich assessment task to reveal students' multiplicative thinking in respect to a hypothetical learning trajectory. Thirty pairs of students in grades 5 and 6 attempted the task. Twenty-two pairs applied multiplicative structure to find the number of items in arrays. However counting and computational errors…

Bishop, Jessica Pierson; Hardison, Hamilton; Przybyla-Kuchek, Julia – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
In this paper we consider how mathematics instruction that values, attends to, and builds on students' mathematical ideas is realized through discourse. We describe interactions that build on students' thinking and in which students help to determine the direction of mathematics lessons as responsive. Using a framework we developed to characterize…

English, Lyn; Watson, Jane – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Students explored variation and expectation in a probability activity at the end of the first year of a 3-year longitudinal study across grades 4-6. The activity involved experiments in tossing coins both manually and with simulation using the graphing software, "TinkerPlots." Initial responses indicated that the students were aware of…

Bragg, Philippa; Outhred, Lynne – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
Recent publications continue to show that significant numbers of students in junior grades, while competent in basic ruler skills, seem not to have acquired important concepts about how rulers work and units of length. This paper reports on the results of a set of tasks completed by students from Grades 5 and 6. The results show that many students…

Abrahamson, Dor – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
The paper describes the rationale and 10-day implementation in a 5th-grade classroom (n=19) of an experimental ratio-and-proportion instructional design. In this constructivist-phenomenological design, coming from our theoretical perspective, design research, and domain analysis, students: (1) link "real-world" and "mathematical" objects…
