Viseu, Floriano; Martins, Paula Mendes; Leite, Laurinda – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The current teaching of mathematics is guided by recommendations that suggest the implementation of various activities in order to raise the understanding of mathematical knowledge. This diversity is related to the characteristics of the tasks proposed in the learning contexts. Among all tasks, the modelling ones call for the application of…

Stohlmann, Micah; Maiorca, Cathrine; Allen, Charlie – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2017
This case study investigated how three teachers developed mathematical modelling activities integrated with content standards through participation in a course on mathematical modelling. The class activities involved experiencing a mathematical modelling activity, reading and rating example mathematical modelling activities, reading articles about…

Biccard, Piera – Africa Education Review, 2018
This article contributes to the discussion on mathematics teacher reflection. Reflection was included in a study of the didactisation practices of primary school mathematics teachers as one of nine didactisation practices. The study involved five volunteer primary school mathematics teachers. A qualitative design-research approach was designed…

Dyehouse, Melissa; Santone, Adam L.; Kisa, Zahid; Carr, Ronald L.; Razzouk, Rabieh – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2019
This paper describes the design principles and implementation of a novel approach for a K--12 teacher professional development (PD) program. The approach integrates training focused on development of model eliciting activities (MEAs) within authentic engineering design tasks, collaborative 3D model design and fabrication, and inspirational site…

Brown, Cassondra; Nickerson, Susan – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
We unpack the notion of mathematics teacher educators modeling teaching in mathematics teacher education courses. Specifically, we investigated what practicing teachers gained from mathematics teacher educators' modeling by examining: (1) What do mathematics teacher educators believe they model about effective instructional practice? (2) What do…

English, Lyn D.; Watters, James J. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2005
In this article we explore young children's development of mathematical knowledge and reasoning processes as they worked two modelling problems (the "Butter Beans Problem" and the "Airplane Problem"). The problems involve authentic situations that need to be interpreted and described in mathematical ways. Both problems include tables of data,…
