Varhol, Astrid; Drageset, Ove Gunnar; Hansen, Monica Nymoen – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
This article presents a study of 8th grade students working in groups to solve a task about generalizing patterns. The study aimed to openly explore how progress in mathematical thinking might relate to the discourse. To do this, we first studied both separately. The progress in mathematical thinking was studied by inspecting how the groups…

Weinberg, Paul – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Generalization and proof are a foundation of mathematical practice and as such should be integral to K-12 mathematics instruction. However, if generalizing and proving are to become popular within K-12 mathematics classrooms, we must consider how to effectively enlist pre-service teachers (PSTs) into supporting these activities in their…

Clouse, Diane E.; Bauer, Anne M. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2016
Self-advocacy, self-management, self-regulation, and self-knowledge are complex terms, often considered forms of self-determination. Whatever term you may use, helping young adults with intellectual disability (ID) make authentic decisions about their own goals and behaviors often results in passive agreement. Even though advancing…
