Using a holistic biliteracies framework, this longitudinal comparative case study explores how two racioinguistically marginalized BPSTs (one heritage Spanish/English bilingual and one initially Spanish-dominant Mexican national) grew in their understanding of biliteracies development and their enactment of biliteracies pedagogies in the beginning…

Play, while complex, is essential for children's learning and development. It is well established in the literature that there is a strong link between children's pretend play abilities and their language skills, particularly in relation to the use of language in social contexts. For many children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH), pretend…

This full paper concerns an exploratory study that investigates students' reasoning about torsion. Mechanical reasoning is critical to engineering applications and yet students still struggle to accurately predict, analyze, and model mechanical systems using formal symbolic notations (i.e., formalizations). To understand the nature of students'…

In this study, the authors investigate the written feedback provided to primary and secondary pre-service teachers studying a specialisation in mathematics. The analysis focuses on 16 written reports completed by mentor teachers during the penultimate year placement of pre-service teachers. The evaluation employs a framework informed by the…

This presentation highlights the challenges of establishing a consistent application of the two terms, "threats" and "hazards," in academic courses and professional training, designed for emergency, disaster, and humanitarian management programs offered by public and private higher education, government agencies, and…

Researchers have recommended using tasks that support students in reasoning covariationally to build productive meanings for graphs, rates of change, exponential growth, and more. However, not many recent studies have been done to identify how students reason when engaging in covariational reasoning tasks in undergraduate precalculus courses. In…

This paper proposes the addition of two new terms, "afinite" and "unfinite" to supplement the current terminology of "finite" and "infinite." The restrictions of the current terminology used in science, math, and linguistics result in inaccurate conclusions. The new terms are defined both linearly and…

Mathematical thinking is a complex, multi-faceted process that has been described as messy and difficult but can also show growth and insights into conceptual understanding and knowing. This paper explores the application of Edward de Bono's practical thinking, in particular, the occurrence of porridge words to examine the mathematical thinking of…

In this study we present results of a discourse analysis of the interactions between two partners, Uma and Sean, through a feminist lens. During roughly five hours of small group work in a teaching experiment, how each partner used language to position each other's thinking as mathematically significant and establish a collaborative environment…

This theoretical paper examines views about the role of language and mathematical discourse in learning mathematics. Current research is still addressing what constitutes a mathematical discourse. As new conceptions of the purpose of language use in mathematics are explored, and associated ontological and epistemic positions are revealed, one…

Development dyslexia (DD) is a common language disorder, which significantly affects children. Despite having ordinary intelligence, dyslexic people struggle with reading, writing, and comprehension in their native tongue. It is still unclear whether dyslexic kids have difficulties with visuo-spatial working memory. Using meta-analysis, this gap…

English proficiency is advantageous for any graduate. In Malaysia, despite English being formally introduced around age 5, proficiency in the language is still lacking in some graduates. English should be introduced to children during their formation years so they can be proficient. However, in many private preschools, English proficiency is not a…

We present a finding from a literature analysis of Raza populations published in top-tiered peer reviewed mathematics education journals. We look at how narratives are perpetuated and resisted at the intersections of Raza, mathematics education, and research. The findings reveal the field of mathematics education research is perpetuating deficit…

The manner in which gender is portrayed in materials used to teach children conveys messages about people's roles in society. In this paper, we measure the gendered depiction of central domains of social life in 100 years of highly influential children's books. We make two main contributions: (1) we find that the portrayal of gender in these books…

This study employed a discourse analysis methodology to compare Korean bilingual students in first and third grades by examining different functions and forms of translanguaging in Korean heritage language classrooms in the U.S. By identifying linguistic functions and forms of each translanguaging occurrence, the study presents that the bilingual…
