Body-Based Activities in Secondary Geometry: An Analysis of Learning and Viewpoint
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smith, Carmen Petrick – School Science and Mathematics, 2018
Body-based activities have the potential to support mathematics learning, but we know little about the impact they have in the classroom. This study compares high school geometry students learning through either body-based or analogous non-body-based activities over the course of a two-week unit on similarity. Pre- and post-tests revealed that…

Kim, Heesung; Ke, Fengfeng; Paek, Insu – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2017
This experimental study was intended to examine whether game-based learning (GBL) that encompasses four particular game characteristics (challenges, a storyline, immediate rewards and the integration of game-play with learning content) in an OpenSimulator-supported virtual reality learning environment can improve perceived motivational quality of…

Korkmaz, Özgen – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2016
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the Scratch and Lego Mindstorms Ev3 programming activities on academic achievement with respect to computer programming, and on the problem-solving and logical-mathematical thinking skills of students. This study was a semi-experimental, pretest-posttest study with two experimental groups and…

Kermani, Hengameh; Aldemir, Jale – Early Child Development and Care, 2015
The purpose of the present study was to study if purposeful math, science, and technology curriculum projects and activities would support Pre-K children's performance in these subject matter areas. In this study, 58 Pre-K children from 4 Pre-K classrooms in a public Pre-K programme in North Carolina participated. Through a quasi-experimental,…

Learning to "See" Less than Nothing: Putting Perceptual Skills to Work for Learning Numerical Structure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tsang, Jessica M.; Blair, Kristen P.; Bofferding, Laura; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Cognition and Instruction, 2015
How can children's natural perceptuo-motor skills be harnessed for teaching and learning mathematical structure? We address this question in the case of the integers. Existing research suggests that adult mental representations of integers recruit perceptuo-motor functionalities involving symmetry. Building on these findings, we designed a…

The Study of Number Sense: Realistic Activities Integrated into Third-Grade Math Classes in Taiwan
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yang, Der-Ching; Wu, Wan-Ru – Journal of Educational Research, 2010
The authors compared the performance of students who received integration of number sense activities in instruction with students who received instruction using regular mathematics textbooks. Two classes of third-grade students (N = 60) were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Students in each group were given a pretest, post I…
