In this report, we present how one prospective elementary teacher (PT) engaged in the Ant Farm Task, which we designed to investigate PTs' reasoning about coordinate systems. We highlight the cognitive resources the PT drew upon in solving the task via the establishment of a Cartesian coordination and consider educational implications. [For the…

Cansiz Aktas, Meral; Yavuz Mumcu, Hayal – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2019
This study examined pre-service teachers' views and experiences of building geometric constructions on paper and with the interactive whiteboard. The study group consisted of 26 pre-service elementary teachers in a state university in the Black Sea region of Turkey who took the Geometry Teaching course. The data were obtained from an opinion form…

The author shares some examples from her Bulgarian project, "Mathematics Through Experience", which approaches mathematics from a practical, real-life perspective in order to develop creative thinking: just like science! What was most important to her was to motivate her students to study maths and science by giving them a taste of how…

Zeybek, Zulfiye; Cross Francis, Dionne I. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2017
Measurement is an important component of K-grade 12 mathematics curricula. The concepts of area and perimeter of polygons are first introduced in third grade and serve as the basis for teaching in the upper grades. Without a strong understanding of measurement, students will struggle to meaningfully grasp three-dimensional measurement concepts…

Yang, Kai-Ju – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2012
In my personal interactions with elementary preservice teachers (EPSTs) at a large Midwestern university in United States, many EPSTs held negative beliefs and attitudes about geometry learning. Although finding ways to help EPSTs change their negative beliefs and attitudes is an important issue, it can be best addressed by first investigating how…

Jeon, Kyungsoon – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2009
Whether they are third graders or teacher candidates, students can learn about perimeter and area while having fun manipulating two-dimensional figures into three-dimensional objects. In this article, the author describes a common mathematical activity for geometry students by creating nets for a cube. By making connections between nets in two…
