DiNapoli, Joseph – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Supporting students' in-the-moment perseverance is a vital objective in mathematics education because it promotes learning with understanding. Yet, little is written about if and how student perseverance can improve over time. I examine the specific ways in which secondary students improved their perseverance as they engaged with challenging…

Jansen, Amanda; Middleton, James A.; Wiezel, Adi; Cullicott, Catherine; Zhang, Xiaoxue; Tarr, Gabriel; Curtis, Kelly – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Teachers' efforts to support students, both academically and socially, can play a role in how high school students productively engage with mathematics in the moment. To examine the connection between teacher support and student engagement, we conducted an exploratory mixed-methods study combining data from 20 high school classroom observations…

Banting, Nat; Simmt, Elaine – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
In this paper we frame our observations in enactivism, specifically problem posing, to propose the notion of problem drift as a method to analyze the curriculum generating actions of small group learning systems in relation to teacher interventions intended to trigger specific content goals. Teacher attentiveness to problem drift is suggested to…

Andrà, Chiara; Liljedahl, Peter – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
In this article we examine intuitions as they emerge in groupwork activities. We provide a framework and a methodology to code various aspects of the activity, social and mathematical. Focusing mostly on students' gazes, we explore how affective moves give rise to, and determine, students' interactions and thoughts. We argue that intuition does…

Fonger, Nicole L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
This research study was specifically concerned with the development, testing, and revision to an instructional theory for studying the mathematical concepts of equivalence and equation solving with multiple representations and multiple tools. Following a design research approach, a collaborative teaching experiment was conducted with a ninth-grade…

Sandhu, Satwant; Kidman, Gillian; Cooper, Tom – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
Queensland rural and remote schools have difficulty in attracting experienced, in-field mathematics teachers. Thus, when such teachers arrive, much is expected of them to increase the mathematics knowledge of students. This paper looks at one such teacher who, against the high expectations placed upon him as an in-field teacher, experienced…
