Jessica Raley – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Mathematical justifications offer an approach to which students deepen and extend their mathematical thinking. This process has the potential to enhance students' conceptual understanding. Mathematical practices and process standards ask students to use critical thinking skills to justify their reasoning, but this is usually seen as proofs in high…

Mara P. Markinson – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Geometric proof-writing is a widely known cause of stress for secondary school students and teachers alike. As the textbook is the primary curricular tool utilized by novice teachers, a two-part qualitative study was conducted to determine (a) the types of proofs presented in a typical high school geometry textbook and (b) teachers' preparedness…

Significant attention is being paid to how assessments aligned to learning trajectories (LTs) can be used as a means to locate students' progress in learning big ideas in mathematics over time. Furthermore, data from LT-aligned assessments have been signaled as key to driving student-centered instruction on a day-to-day basis. For LTs and…

An, Tuyin – ProQuest LLC, 2017
It is widely accepted by the field of mathematics education that proof and reasoning should be integrated into students' mathematical experiences across all grades and across a breadth of content areas. However, studies have shown that both secondary students and teachers have encountered difficulties with learning and teaching geometry proofs. By…

Chasman, Laura – ProQuest LLC, 2009
We establish an isoperimetric inequality for the fundamental tone (first nonzero eigenvalue) of the free plate of a given area, proving the ball is maximal. Given tau greater than 0, the free plate eigenvalues omega and eigenfunctions upsilon are determined by the equation Delta Delta upsilon - tau Delta upsilon = omega upsilon together with…

Prior research on students' uses of technology has suggested it can be used to support students' development of formal justifications and proofs. The ways in which these technologies influence the construction of arguments and proofs remain uncertain. Furthermore, research has not been conducted that compares the arguments students develop while…

Ko, Yi-Yin – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Current reforms in undergraduate mathematics education devoted to proof and counterexample highlight its importance in teaching and learning mathematics. While undergraduate students who have taken a number of upper-level mathematics courses are expected to have mastered the skills required to verify statements as well as to read and write proofs…
