Giacomone, Belén; Godino, Juan D.; Blanco, Teresa F.; Wilhelmi, Miguel R. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Diagrams and in general the use of visualization and manipulative material play an important role in mathematics teaching and learning processes. Although several authors warn that mathematics objects should be distinguished from their possible material representations, the relations between these objects are still conflictive both from an…

Lee, Eun-Jung; Lee, Kyeong-Hwa; Park, Minsun – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
This study focuses on developing the abilities of preservice secondary mathematics teachers to modify mathematical tasks through noticing-oriented activities. To this end, the study designs three phases for Noticing-Oriented Task Modification Activity (NOTMA) and applies it to preservice secondary mathematics teachers. It investigates…

Pino-Fan, Luis R.; Font, Vicenç; Gordillo, Wilson; Larios, Víctor; Breda, Adriana – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
In this article, we present the results of the administration of a questionnaire designed to evaluate the understanding that civil engineering students have of the "antiderivative." The questionnaire was simultaneously administered to samples of Mexican and Colombian students. For the analysis of the answers, we used some theoretical and…

Andrá, Chiara; Lindström, Paulina; Arzarello, Ferdinando; Holmqvist, Kenneth; Robutti, Ornella; Sabena, Cristina – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2015
We use eye tracking as a method to examine how different mathematical representations of the same mathematical object are attended to by students. The results of this study show that there is a meaningful difference in the eye movements between formulas and graphs. This difference can be understood in terms of the cultural and social shaping of…

Eisenmann, Tammy; Even, Ruhama – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2011
The aim of this study was to examine how teachers enact the same written algebra curriculum materials in different classes. The study addresses this issue by comparing the types of algebraic activity (Kieran, 2004) enacted in two 7th grade classes taught by the same teacher, using the same textbook. Data sources include lesson observations and an…

Tsai, Yu-Ling; Chang, Ching-Kuch – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2009
This article reports an alternative approach, called the combinatorial model, to learning multiplicative identities, and investigates the effects of implementing results for this alternative approach. Based on realistic mathematics education theory, the new instructional materials or modules of the new approach were developed by the authors. From…
