Tutita M. Casa; Jillian M. Cavanna; Holly Henderson Pinter – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
Although teachers are expected to teach mathematics ambitiously, it is challenging for them to do so. Given that the first year represents a critical juncture between teacher preparation and inservice teaching, it may be particularly challenging to teach ambitiously. Understanding the nuanced characteristics in lessons taught by first-year…

Pedersen, Blaine; Makel, Matthew C.; Rambo-Hernandez, Karen E.; Peters, Scott J.; Plucker, Jonathan – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2023
School-based learning experiences are often designed with the "typical" student in mind. However, this may not be an optimal approach, given the variability of prior learning that exists in most classrooms. We investigated the variance in achievement within U.S. fourth- and eighth-grade mathematics classrooms using Trends in…
