Characterizing Mature Number Sense and Its Association to Other Constructs in Middle School Students
Kirkland, Patrick K. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Improving children's "number sense" has been a core component of recent mathematics curricular and instructional reforms (CCSS, 2010; NCTM, 2000, 2014) in the United States. Students with mature number sense make sense of numbers and operations, use reasoning to notice patterns, and flexibly select the most effective and efficient…

Peters, Susan A.; Gross, Michelle; Stokes-Levine, Amy – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2019
Statistics standards found in the Common Core (CCSSI 2010) and other state standards require considerable instructional time and focus for students to develop the depth and breadth of understanding necessary. In this article, the authors offer an approach to teaching a statistics unit that combines student choice with authentic and sustained…

Lewis, Jennifer M.; Özgün-Koca, S. Asli – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
Sustaining engagement with a mathematics task is not a novel suggestion for effective mathematics teaching. "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (2000) specified that "students need to know that a challenging problem will take some time and that perseverance is an important aspect of the problem-solving process and of…

Nielsen, Lynne; Steinthorsdottir, Olof B.; Kent, Laura B. – Middle School Journal, 2016
This article describes a type of professional development focused on students' thinking that occurs in middle school mathematics classrooms. This type of professional development is called "Classroom Embedded" and occurs over one or two days in a classroom with middle school students and their teacher. Teachers actively participate in…

Yopp, David A. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
Students engage in proportional reasoning when they use covariance and multiple comparisons. Without rich connections to proportional reasoning, students may develop inadequate understandings of linear relationships and the equations that model them. Teachers can improve students' understanding of linear relationships by focusing on realistic…

Lee, Mi Yeon – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2017
The Common Core's Standards for Mathematical Practice encourage teachers to develop their students' ability to reason abstractly and quantitatively by helping students make sense of quantities and their relationships within problem situations. The seventh-grade content standards include objectives pertaining to developing linear equations in…

Haberern, Colleen – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), many teachers are changing their classroom structure from teacher-directed to student-centered. When the author began designing and using problem-based tasks she saw a drastic improvement in student engagement and problem-solving skills. The author describes the Cake…

Greenes, Carole – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2014
Tasks to Advance the Learning of Mathematics (TALMs) were developed to stimulate grades 5-8 students' curiosity about complex mathematical relationships, inspire them to reason abstractly and quantitatively, encourage them to consider and create alternative solution approaches, develop their skills to persuade others about the viability of one…

Watanabe, Tad – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) (CCSSI 2010) identifies the strategic use of appropriate tools as one of the mathematical practices and emphasizes the use of pictures and diagrams as reasoning tools. Starting with the early elementary grades, CCSSM discusses students' solving of problems "by drawing." In later…

Stephan, Michelle; Smith, Jennifer – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2012
The widespread adoption of the Common Core State Standards (2010) has caused mathematics and special educators to reconsider instructional methods. The Common Core introduces eight Standards for Mathematical Practice that outlines the dispositions that should be fostered in students. Most notable are those that push students to analyze problems,…
