Bethany P. Lewis – Reading Teacher, 2024
Although orally sharing and discussing written compositions has been shown to benefit elementary students, it can be challenging to entwine this additional pedagogy with an already full literacy instructional period. This article acknowledges these challenges and outlines three evidence-based instructional modifications to encourage active sharing…

Valérie Munier; Claude Devichi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This paper discusses the relevance of using physical situations to introduce the concept of angles at elementary school. We compare the effectiveness of two geometry teaching sequences. In the first one (physical sequence), the pupils learned the angle concept by experimenting on the playground (i.e. mesospace) and then modelling the situation. In…

Erin Hogan; Yuting Sun – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, this secondary analysis investigated the relations among classroom dialogic interaction, fifth-grade students' reading achievement, and teachers' dialogic stances. First, quantitative analyses of time-sampled lesson observations and state reading test scores suggested that the more class time…

Hubbard, Jane; Russo, James; Sullivan, Peter – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
This article is based upon Peter Sullivan's (2021) structured inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, in which the authors take a deep dive into the technique of "Spotlighting" in the "Explore" phase of this model to assist in optimal learning experiences for students. Working from the premise that students are best placed to…
