These proceedings are a written record of the research presented at the 42nd annual meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) held in Mazatlán, Mexico, virtually beginning May 27, 2021 and in-person June 2-6, 2021. The conference was originally scheduled to take place…

Arguing that the teaching of stochastic processes should reflect the experience and reality of the student, the author urges concentration on fundamental ideas. The development of intuition should be encouraged, and to this end continuity in teaching and a spiralled curriculum are important. (SD)

This booklet, part of a series of four which provide problems in probability and statistics for the secondary school level, is aimed at aiding the student in developing models as structure for data and in learning how to change models to fit real-life problems. Twelve different problem situations arising from biology, business, English, physical…

A short course in probability and statistics for administrators and managers is described. Topics covered in one of the lecture sessions are discussed. (DT)

A sophomore-level course in applications of mathematics was designed to introduce students to the diversity of situations in which mathematical models are used. The course precedes the study of the calculus, and is composed of a sequence of modules. A problem-solving approach is used. (SD)

The first part of the teachers' guide for "Finding Models" briefly describes the mathematical background necessary for the student, lists the substantive areas touched on by the problems in the pamphlet, suggests classroom uses for the booklet, and gives background information for the individual chapters. The second part provides complete…

College teachers attending an NSF-sponsored summer workshop (1974) produced a series of films showing computer displays of mathematical problems and phenomena. These instructional materials are organized into four units: (1) functions and graphs; (2) analysis; (3) probability, statistics, and simulation; and (4) mathematical models. They are keyed…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
