Brady, Corey; Vogelstein, Lauren; Gresalfi, Melissa; Knowe, Madison – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
STEM integration holds significant promise for supporting students in making connections among ideas and ways of thinking that might otherwise remain "siloed." Nevertheless, activities that integrate disciplines can present challenges to learners. In particular, they can require students to shift epistemological framing, demands that can…

Akbas, Elif Ertem; Alan, Kübra – Online Submission, 2022
Due to the fact that the pandemic process did not occur in a predictable time frame, various difficulties have arisen in the field of education. This is also true in mathematics education, and concretization has been one of the biggest obstacles. This situation paved the way for concept learning errors that may occur in students. There are some…

Ferrer, Miquel; Fortuny, Josep M.; Morera, Laura; Planas, Núria – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We present a case study that has been developed to inform about the teaching activity of a secondary mathematics teacher in a whole group discussion and the mathematical learning opportunities generated for the students in this classroom context. For data of one lesson we determine the episodes that shape the whole group discussion. For each…

Robichaux, Rebecca R.; Rodrigue, Paulette R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Given the importance of algebra, middle school mathematics teachers have a responsibility to help students transition from understanding arithmetic to understanding the algebra that will be necessary for success in high school. One method of transition involves introducing algebraic concepts in concrete ways using meaningful contexts. The series…
