Mathematical play has a fairly short history, with strong roots further back in time (e.g., Papert, Montessori), and understanding the role of mathematical play from early childhood to adulthood is, as yet. unmapped. This working group will build on the success of last year's working group and continue to provide a community space to explore and…

Ozgur, Zekiye; Reiten, Lindsay; Ellis, Amy B. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
Supporting students' mathematical reasoning is an important goal of mathematics instruction, but can be challenging for many teachers .We report the results of a study aimed at better understanding and identifying the ways in which teachers support student reasoning when provided with conceptually rich tasks. This study resulted in the Teacher…

Lockwood, Elise; Ellis, Amy B.; Dogan, Muhammed F.; Williams, Caroline C.; Knuth, Eric – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
Examples play a critical role in mathematical practice, particularly in the exploration of conjectures and in the subsequent development of proofs. Although proof has been an object of extensive study, the role that examples play in the process of exploring and proving conjectures has not received the same attention. In this paper, we present a…
