In this study, the middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge of division of fractions was investigated through the strategies that they proposed and the problems that they posed for division of fractions. The data was collected from 22 middle school mathematics teachers through the task and semi-structured interviews. The data of this case…

Peer reviewedBrown, Rachael Eriksen; Orrill, Chandra Hawley – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
In this paper, we extend our previous work on challenges teachers face when engaging with proportional reasoning contexts to investigate two contexts that included four problems for middle grades teachers to solve as well as eight student solutions. Analysis included coding for correct solving of the problem as well as making sense of and…

Educational literature indicates that solving open mathematical tasks (OTs) is a powerful creativity-directed activity. However, the use of these tasks with school students on an everyday basis is extremely limited. To promote implementation of OTs in middle school, we manage a large-scale R&D project, Math-Key, which makes open mathematical…

Hawthorne, Casey Wayne – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Generalization has been identified as a cornerstone of algebraic thinking (e.g., Lee, 1996; Sfard, 1995) and is at the center of a rich conceptualization of K-8 algebra (Kaput, 2008; Smith, 2003). Moreover, mathematics teachers are being encouraged to use figural-pattern generalizing tasks as a basis of student-centered instruction, whereby…

Lamberg, Teruni; Wiest, Lynda R. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2015
The paper reports an investigation into how a group of elementary and middle school teachers collectively attempted to solve and understand a fraction division problem using an area model. Solving the word problem required that teachers determine how many two-thirds fit into three-fourths. The teachers struggled to conceptualise fraction division,…

The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) was grappling with several issues including: (1) A respectable rate of growth in student achievement for both fourth- and eighth-grade math in the state of Alabama, as measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), but below the national average; and (2) A growing concern about…

This report presents the results of an experiment conducted in Alabama beginning in the 2006/07 school year, to determine the effectiveness of the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI), which aims to improve mathematics and science achievement in the state's K-12 schools. This study is the first randomized controlled trial…
