Building Thinking Classrooms (Liljedahl, 2021) provides teachers with a new method of designing and sequencing tasks called "thin slicing," which emerged from variation theory. The results of the present study indicate that an analysis of the dimensions and ranges of variation within such a task offers insights into learning…

Spatial reasoning skills are necessary to perform activities at school, at work and in everyday life, in general. Different studies indicate the importance of its development at an early age, since it allows the reading of a three-dimensional world and its interpretation in two-dimensional representations. Our research focuses on the design of…

Stockero, Shari L.; Peterson, Blake E.; Leatham, Keith R.; Van Zoest, Laura R. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Productive use of student mathematical thinking is a critical aspect of effective teaching that is not yet fully understood. We have previously conceptualized the teaching practice of building on student mathematical thinking and the four elements that comprise it. In this paper we begin to unpack this complex practice by looking closely at its…

Just like physical skills, cognitive skills grow rusty over time unless they are regularly used and practiced so academic breaks can have negative consequences on student learning and success. The Keeping in School Shape (KiSS) program is an engaging, innovative, and cost-effective intervention that harnesses the benefits of retrieval practice by…

In this study, we investigated one student as she engaged in the exploration of a graph theory problem, the Graceful Tree Conjecture. The study took place in a classroom in the Midwestern United States which contained eighteen students. We report on a descriptive case study of one student, Heidi, as she works her way through different classes of…

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…

This research report presents the results of a STEM summer program on robotics and game design. The program was part of a three-year study funded by the National Science Foundation. Children in grades four through six participated in a two-week summer camp in 2015 to learn STEM by engaging in LEGO® EV3 robotics and computer-based games using…
