David M. Woods; Andrea Hulshult – Information Systems Education Journal, 2024
In response to the adoption of Agile practices and processes by businesses, IT/IS educators are working to add Agile content to their courses. Teaching students about Agile involves teaching them about the history, mindset, and values of Agile, along with an introduction to the practices and processes used in an Agile product. Along with this, it…

Han, Daisy – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
When Daisy Han first encountered a Montessori classroom, she actually felt free. Free to move, free to create, free to explore, free to try, free to fail, free to be. This freedom is essential to becoming an innovator. Innovators possess an irreverence almost as big as their self-efficacy, both of which have been nurtured in an environment where…

Pelánek, Radek; Effenberger, Tomáš – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
To provide practice and assessment of computational thinking, we need specific problems students can solve. There are many such problems, but they are hard to find. Learning environments and assessments often use only specific types of problems and thus do not cover computational thinking in its whole scope. We provide an extensive catalog of…

Shiv Krishna Madi Reddy; Meng Guo; Long Cai; Ralph E. White – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
A method is presented which can be used to obtain analytical solutions for boundary value problems (BVPs) using the matrix exponential and Maple. Systems of second order, linear differential equations are expressed as two or more first order equations in matrix form, and their solutions are obtained using the matrix exponential, matrix…

Abboud, Elias – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In this article, we consider certain minimization problems. If d[subscript 1], d[subscript 2] and d[subscript 3] are the distances of a boundary or inner point to the sides of a given triangle, find the point which minimizes d[subscript 1][superscript n] + d[subscript 2][superscript n] + d[subscript 3][superscript n] for positive integer n. These…

Rivera, Kira; Peabody, David – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
In this article, the authors describe an algebra 2 class activity, called the Exponent Maze, that had students practice many mathematics problems, display their creativity, and work together collaboratively by creating their own mazes. The authors discuss how they introduced the activity, what the students created, and how creating mazes can be…

Ismael Cabero; Carl Winsløw – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
The notion of function is central in all of the secondary curriculum, and indeed functional models appear in almost all higher education that is based on mathematics. However, in secondary education, functions usually appear in restricted and somewhat sterile forms. In this (mostly theoretical) paper, we present a proposal -- exemplified by a…

Juraj Hromkovic; Regula Lacher – Informatics in Education, 2025
The design of algorithms is one of the hardest topics of high school computer science. This is mainly due to the universality of algorithms as solution methods that guarantee the calculation of a correct solution for all potentially infinitely many instances of an algorithmic problem. The goal of this paper is to present a comprehensible and…

de Sá Neto, Olimpio Pereira; Aquino Sousa, Herbert José; da Silva, Rafael Ferreira – Physics Teacher, 2022
We will present a problem-solving method for the dynamics of a projectile that has two perpendicular acceleration vectors through rotation of the axes. This methodology of reparameterizing the two-dimensional system simplifies the speed optimization calculus.

Vorob'ev, Evgenii M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper discusses the mathematical and didactical problems of teaching indefinite integral in the context of the ubiquitous availability of online integral calculators. The symbol of indefinite integral introduced by Leibniz, unfortunately, does not contain an indication of the interval on which the antiderivatives should be calculated. This…

Stouffer, Joe – Reading Teacher, 2023
In this article, the author presents a teaching prompt--Write-it-Out--to instruct readers who seemingly guess at words with no or limited use of grapheme-phonemic correspondences to recontextualize word-solving into writing. Through the nature of this prompt, slowing down the pace of solving words on the run with writing also reciprocally builds…

Burke, Jon; Goukasian, Levon; Shearer, Robert – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
Students often struggle with the concept of dependence of events or random variables. We present a simple coin flipping game that yields surprising results due to the dependencies within the game. The game is simple enough for young children to understand and play, yet complex enough to yield results that are counterintuitive to even most graduate…

Robert J. Fisher – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
Strategies are proposed that promote use of an Integrated Applied Mathematics (IAM) approach to enhance teaching of advanced problem-solving and analysis skills. Three scenarios of 1-dimensional transport processes are presented that support using Error Function analyses when considering short time/small penetration depths in finite geometries.…

Egan J. Chernoff – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2024
As a person obsessed, perhaps overly so, with preventing water damage, an ailing dishwasher led to a system whereby who did the dishes in our household became a matter of chance. What happened next, however, was besmirchment of my character from hockey teammates, close friends, and especially from a room full of future elementary school…

Patricio Herbst; Amanda Brown; Daniel Chazan; Nicolas Boileau; Irma Stevens – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
We contribute to the understanding of teacher noticing by focusing on what a teacher may notice in students' mathematical contributions in the context of problem-based lessons. Complementing approaches to research on noticing that focus on individual teachers' perceptual, cognitive, or situated skills, this conceptual article offers four…
