Peer reviewedKoester, Beverly A. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Presents a variety of activities in which 4th grade students investigate prisms and pyramids by building models from folded paper and drinking straws. (Author/NB)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Mathematical Models
Peer reviewedSmith, Robin R. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2002
Describes the development of mathematical thinking as children construct a mini mall. Students learn the importance of cooperation with their peers as they explore mathematical concepts such as one-to-one correspondence, classification, intersection of sets, coin identification and values, addition, subtraction, and problem solving. (Author/NB)

Direct linkEnglish, Lyn D. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
This paper examines 6th grade children's local conceptual development and mathematization processes as they worked a comprehensive mathematical modeling problem (creating a consumer guide for deciding the best snack chip) over several class periods. The children and their teachers were participating in a 3-year longitudinal teaching experiment in…
