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,…

Clark, L. Jeneva; Clark, Jonathan M. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Perceptually rich concrete manipulatives benefit mathematics learning. Because students should be challenged to consider connections between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) perspectives of conics (NCTM 2000), this article describes hands-on teaching techniques that promote this type of student reasoning. This article aims to (1)…

Rubel, Laurie; Lim, Vivian; Hall-Wieckert, Maren; Katz, Sara – Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching, and Research, 2016
This paper explores teaching mathematics for spatial justice (Soja, 2010), as an extension of teaching mathematics for social justice (Gutstein, 2006). The study is contextualized in a 10-session curricular module focused on the spatial justice of a city's two-tiered system of personal finance institutions (mainstream vs. alternative), piloted…

Obara, Samuel – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2013
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 1989, 2000) and the new "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" for senior secondary (ACARA, 2010) highlight the importance of teaching spatial reasoning as early as preschool when mathematics is introduced. Studies have shown that there is a relationship between spatial abilities and…

Leopold, Claudia; Sumfleth, Elke; Leutner, Detlev – Learning and Instruction, 2013
The purpose of the experiment was to examine whether students better understand a science text when they are asked to self-generate summaries or to study predefined summaries. Furthermore, we tested the effects of verbal and pictorial summaries. The experiment followed a 2 x 2 design with representation mode (verbal vs. pictorial) and learning…

Raje, Sonali; Krach, Michael; Kaplan, Gail – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Concepts in mathematics are often universally applicable to other fields. A critical aspect for success in high school or college is the ability to transfer content knowledge from one discipline to another. This is especially true for material learned in the sciences and mathematics. Several studies have suggested that strong mathematical skills…

Manizade, Agida – Understanding Our Gifted, 2009
Adam, an 11th grader, was identified as gifted and accepted into a two week summer enrichment program. He signed up for "Geometry with Flash Programming." He had no prior programming experience but had a strong and healthy self-image as mathematics student. Although Adam had a positive attitude toward mathematics and saw himself as a successful…
