Vahid Borji; Rafael Martínez-Planell; María Trigueros – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
We use Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory to study students' geometric understanding of partial derivatives of functions of two variables. This study contributes to research on the teaching and learning of differential multivariable calculus and its didactics. This is an important area due to its multiple applications in science,…

Marco, Nadav; Palatnik, Alik; Schwarz, Baruch B. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
In activities based on proof without words (PWW), we developed, students are given a PWW--a diagram that alludes to the proof of a mathematical theorem. The students work collaboratively to construct a proof alluded by the PWW, and then each student writes and submits a proof attempt. In a 3-year design-based study, we investigate and develop…

Jennifer Langer-Osuna; Jen Munson; Emma Gargroetzi; Immanuel Williams; Rosa Chavez – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
This paper explores peer interactions in an elementary mathematics classroom (ages 9-10) where the teacher intentionally shared authority with her students and supported them in learning to share authority with one another. Authors examine how students shifted between shared, concentrated, and contested social and intellectual authority relations…

Hegedus, Stephen J.; Otálora, Yenny – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Our research aimed to investigate the potential learning benefits to young children of implementing digital interactive multimodal technologies that provide both visual and haptic experiences in elementary mathematics classrooms. We studied the ways in which fourth-grade students collaboratively create collective strategies for solving…

Dekker, Rijkje; Elshout-Mohr, Marianne – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1998
Presents a process model developed for interaction and mathematical level raising focusing on the individual learning process and relates this model to research. The model is meant to show how level raising can be realized by allowing students to work in small groups on a mathematical problem. Contains 24 references. (Author/ASK)

Dekker, Rijkje; Elshout-Mohr, Marianne; Wood, Terry – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
In this article we analyze the dialogic learning of one pair of students in order to investigate how these students cope with a collaborative learning situation in the classroom. Our aim is to substantiate the claims that not only are young students (8 year olds) capable of solving mathematical problems collaboratively, but that they also take an…
