Erin Turner; Julia Aguirre; Mary Alice Carlson; Jennifer Suh; Elizabeth Fulton – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Mathematical modeling (MM) -- a cyclical process that involves using mathematics to make-sense of and analyze relevant, real-world situations -- has the potential to advance equity and challenge spaces of marginalization in the elementary mathematics classroom. When informed by culturally responsive teaching practices, MM creates opportunities to…

Geena Taite – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Modeling with mathematics (MP4) is a mathematical practice standard that can be used to engage students in mathematical content standards as well as additional mathematical practice standards. Research has shown the benefits of mathematical modeling (e.g., Aguirre et al., 2019; Cirillo et al., 2016a), but also the challenges teachers can face…

Asempapa, Reuben S.; Love, Tyler S. – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
Mathematical modeling is a critical component of the current K-12 mathematics, science, and technology and engineering (T&E) educational standards in the United States. However, mathematical modeling is often overlooked or underemphasized in integrative STEM lessons. This could be attributed to teachers' limited content and pedagogical…

Ramos-Rodríguez, Elisabeth; Fernández-Ahumada, Elvira; Morales-Soto, Astrid – Education Sciences, 2022
A concern in Mathematics Education is the professional development of the teacher and to promote effective training programs. The literature provides principles guiding the design of such programs, which were considered for an instruction intended to strengthen the teacher's practice in relation to the development of mathematical skills. The…

Erin Turner; Mary Alice Carlson; Julia Aguirre; Jennifer Suh; Jonathan Brown; Mary Greene; Elzena McVicar – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
There is growing recognition that mathematical modeling can be a lever for equity in elementary mathematics classrooms. This study focuses on the impact of a professional development program focused on culturally responsive mathematical modeling on 8 kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers' practices in modeling lessons. We use a project developed…

Maass, Katja; Engeln, Katrin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This paper presents an international research study of long-term professional development courses on modelling. It addresses the question of scaling-up professional development. So far, there has been much research on small-scale professional development courses, but we know very little about what it means to scale up such a course and to reach…

Zieffler, Andrew; Justice, Nicola; delMas, Robert; Huberty, Michael D. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Statistical modeling continues to gain prominence in the secondary curriculum, and recent recommendations to emphasize data science and computational thinking may soon position algorithmic models into the school curriculum. Many teachers' preparation for and experiences teaching statistical modeling have focused on probabilistic models.…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Tasks for teaching predictive modelling and APIs often require learners to use code-driven tools. Minimal research, however, exists about the design of tasks that support the introduction of high school students and teachers to these new statistical and computational methods. Using a design-based research approach, a web-based task was developed.…

Ng, Kit Ee Dawn – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Despite the incorporation of mathematical modelling in the Singapore mathematics curriculum framework since 2007, Singapore teachers still face readiness issues concerning the use of open-ended real-world problems. This paper presents some preliminary findings from an exploratory study undertaken within a professional development programme on…

Szymanski, Antonia; Paganelli, Andrea; Tassell, Janet – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2022
This mixed-methods study focused on advanced student engagement, mathematics competence, and the influence of teachers in classrooms that used 3D printing to teach mathematics. Quantitative methods were used to understand changes in student perceptions of competence, engagement, and feelings regarding group work. Qualitative methods were used to…

Kazak, Sibel; Pratt, Dave – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
We examine the challenges of teaching probability through the use of modelling. We argue how an integrated modelling approach might facilitate a coordinated understanding of distribution by marrying theoretical and data-oriented perspectives and present probability as more connected to the social lives of modern-day students. Research is, however,…
