Boram Lee; Ingrid Ristroph; Despina Stylianou; Eric Knuth; Maria Blanton; Angela M. Gardiner; Ana Stephens; Rena Stroud – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Is it possible to identify instructional practices that have an impact on student learning in mathematics? The study described here is part of ongoing efforts to understand and characterize effective instruction. We drew on the work of several recently developed frameworks for understanding teaching effectiveness to develop a protocol for studying…

Matute, Karla; Catsellón, Libni; Kitchen, Richard – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper describes how fifth-grade English Learner students (ELs) in an urban school district develop the mathematics register during a problem-solving lesson. It provides examples of students' work to illustrate how they use the mathematics register to communicate their mathematical ideas orally and in writing. The teacher implemented teaching…

Gibbons, Alanna; Lyublinskaya, Irina – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Existing studies have defined and assessed disciplinary literacy, mathematical literacy, and general academic language. However, there is a need to define and assess mathematics discipline-specific language (MDL), particularly for elementary school teachers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a research instrument to assess the…

Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Thompson, Jennifer; Heacock, Kayla; Chen, Lizhen – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This study shares two frameworks for analyzing teacher actions that support students in generalizing and examines how those frameworks align with teacher questioning. One classroom teaching episode focused on the mathematical activity of generalizing is shared to illustrate effective generalizing promoting practices. We found several patterns of…

Zahner, William; Wynn, Lynda; Calleros, Ernesto Daniel; Pelaez, Kevin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We present an analysis of three 9th grade integrated mathematics lessons in which a group of teachers and researchers redesigned a sequence of lessons with the goal of engaging a linguistically diverse group of students in productive and powerful discussions (Herbel-Eisenmann et al. 2013). The three lessons were part of a design experiment. Two…

Castellón, Libni B.; Kitchen, Richard; Matute, Karla – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper focuses on Emergent bilinguals (EBs) who traditionally face unequal opportunities to learn mathematics, harming their identities. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how a fifth grade teacher cultivated the development of her EBs' mathematical identities by giving them opportunities to participate in cognitively demanding…

Hino, Keiko; Koizumi, Yuka – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
On the basis of the construct of "discursive focus" by Sfard (2000), this study explores how students' attention is brought to new mathematical content in whole-class interaction between the teacher and the children. In a sixth-grade lesson introducing the concept of constancy of proportion, we analyzed the progression of social…

Adler, Jill; Ronda, Erlina – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We illustrate an analytic framework for teachers' mathematics discourse in instruction (MDI). MDI is built on three interacting components of a mathematics lesson: a sequence of examples and related tasks; accompanying talk; patterns of interaction. Together these illuminate what is made available to learn. MDI is grounded empirically in…
