Egan J. Chernoff – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
On the lookout for and with a vested interest in Canadian mathematics education matters, this article is dedicated to hockey cards. More specifically, the statistics found on the back of hockey cards. The combination of taking a trip down memory lane, thrifting in British Columbia, traipsing around Toronto, and having coffee (one cream) at Tim…

Armstrong, Alayne; Gerofsky, Susan – Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
In this article, we consider the phenomenon of improvisation by small groups of middle years students while engaged in rich mathematical tasks in a classroom setting. Working from the premise that improvisation comprises a spectrum of behaviour, we propose that there is a range of improvisational behaviours that may be observed as the students…

Mohammad, Nagham; Nica, Mihai; Levere, Kimberly M.; Okner, Rachel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
Out-of-class activities play a crucial role in student learning. However, student opinions on the design of these activities are rarely measured across several different classes. The purpose of this study is to understand students' preferences and attitudes towards new "Engaged Mathematics Labs" in which professors and teaching…

McLennan, Deanna Marie Pecaski – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2019
This article discusses the use of number talks to engage kindergarten children in regular joyful math opportunities in the classroom. As an educator of four- and five-year-old students in a full day kindergarten (FDK) program in Ontario, Canada, I embrace inquiry-based learning to guide children's activities. Inspired by the childcare centres in…

Armstrong, Alayne – in education, 2018
Mathematics itself is a living and creative act (Boaler, 2008), and mathematicians themselves often collaborate in their work (Burton, 2004). What, then, is holding school mathematics back? Are educators so conditioned to expect the act of mathematizing in school to proceed in a certain abstract, formalized way that they are neglecting other means…

McLennan, Deanna Pecaski – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2018
The outdoors can offer children a rich space for learning and inspires authentic mathematical opportunities. The author describes the experiences her kindergarten students have when when they spend many hours each day, exploring their vast play yard and engaging in play-based activities typically done inside a classroom. She also chronicles the…

Brandt, Jim; Lunt, Jana; Meilstrup, Gretchen Rimmasch – PRIMUS, 2016
Educators often argue that mathematics should be taught so that the students in the course are actually "doing mathematics." Is there a consensus among mathematicians and mathematics educators as to the meaning of "doing mathematics?" In an effort to answer this question, we administered a survey to hundreds of university-level…

Gadanidis, George; Cendros, Rosa; Floyd, Lisa; Namukasa, Immaculate – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2017
As computational thinking (CT) is increasing in focus in K-12 education, it is important to consider how teacher education programs may better prepare teacher candidates (TCs). Previous studies have found that TCs do not always have a firm understanding of what CT involves, and they might not have clear ideas about how to develop CT in their…
