Nahmias, Erez; Teicher, Mina – Journal of Education and Learning, 2021
In this article, we shall present findings that describe the degree to which metacognitive orientation contributes to the study of the geometry the plan in boys compared to girls in 9th grade of middle school. The geometry study process does not only involve knowledge but also high thinking abilities. Beyond the knowledge of definitions and…

Bergström, Tove; Gunnarsson, Gunilla; Olteanu, Constanta – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This article is intended to contribute to greater knowledge regarding the importance of flow and the time used to perform an activity, with a focus on students' mathematical experiences of 3D bodies. Thirty-one 9th-grade students took part in the study. Flow and variation theory was used in the analysis of lesson observations, submission tasks,…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Blomberg, Judith; Leopold, Claudia – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
We investigated how students' strategic knowledge about situational (pictorial) drawings and mathematical (schematic) drawings affects drawing accuracy and modeling competencies in the domain of geometry. We conducted a pre-posttest experimental study with 473 students in grade 9. Students were randomly assigned to one of three treatment…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Leopold, Claudia – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
We report on the construction, validation, and implementation of an instrument for measuring students' strategic knowledge about drawing for geometry modelling problems, namely, the "strategic knowledge about drawing scale." We conducted a qualitative study and a quantitative study to validate the proposed construction and interpretation…

Harless, Patrick – Mathematics Teacher, 2011
In this article, the author presents one instructional strategy--scribing--tailored to the Tablet PC. He illustrates the role of the scribe during discussion through two classroom examples: (1) generalizing the polygon sum theorem; and (2) proving the third angle theorem. Then he analyzes scribing as an instructional strategy as well as students'…

Holmes, Vicki-Lynn; Hwang, Yooyeun – Journal of Educational Research, 2016
This mixed-method, longitudinal study investigated the benefits of project-based learning (PBL) on secondary-mathematics students' academic skill development and motivated strategies for learning (i.e., cognitive, social, and motivational). The focus of this study was academic skill development (algebra- and geometry-assessment scores) and other…
