Sitrava, Reyhan Tekin; Bostan, Mine Isiksal; Karpuzcu, Seçil Yemen – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
This qualitative case study investigates how, and to what extent, primary school teachers notice students' mathematical thinking in the context of whole number subtraction. A task involving a student's invented strategy was used to collect data. Three noticing questions connected to the task were asked to 45 teachers. Their written answers were…

Haman, Maciej; Lipowska, Katarzyna – Developmental Science, 2023
In numerical cognition research, the operational momentum (OM) phenomenon (tendency to overestimate the results of addition and/or binding addition to the right side and underestimating subtraction and/or binding it to the left side) can help illuminate the most basic representations and processes of mental arithmetic and their development. This…

Colonnese, Madelyn W.; Casto, Amanda R. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2023
Mathematical writing is one way for primary students to communicate their mathematical thinking. Research in the field of writing has shown that to become an effective teacher of writing, preservice teachers must have experience engaging in the kinds of writing given to their students. The study reported in this paper explored how 27 preservice…

Jessica A. Bowman; John McDonnell; Karen Karp; Olivia F. Coleman; Carrie Clifton; Lyndsey Aiono Conradi; Joanna Ryan; Michael Farrell – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2024
In this convergent mixed methods design study, single-subject and qualitative data were collected concurrently to provide an in-depth picture of the impact of a modified schema-based instructional intervention. The intervention was delivered using instructional trials embedded across general education math lessons and a modified…

Zhang, Shuang; Wang, Jian; Flores, Raymond – Action in Teacher Education, 2021
The analysis of word problem types and schema-based diagrams are assumed useful for helping students and thus, important for preservice teachers to learn in their preparation programs. Drawing on pre-and post-assessments and videotaped demonstrations, this study analyzed elementary preservice teachers' understanding of addition and subtraction…

Putra, Zetra Hainul – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The aim of this study is to investigate Danish pre-service teachers' (PSTs) mathematical and didactical knowledge of operations with rational numbers. This knowledge is studied through their collaborative activities to certain tasks related to the teaching of operations with rational numbers. An explicit model of the teachers' mathematical and…

McCallum, Elizabeth; Schmitt, Ara J.; Aspiranti, Kathleen B.; Mahony, Kristen E.; Honaker, Alyson C.; Christy, Laurie A. – School Psychology, 2022
In response to restrictions on visitors within school buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic, the evidence-based math fact fluency procedure known as the taped problems intervention was adapted for use in a virtual setting. The present study used a multiple-probe across participants design to evaluate the effects of the adapted intervention on the…

Hickendorff, Marian – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2018
Strategy flexibility, adaptivity, and the use of clever shortcut strategies are of major importance in current primary school mathematics education worldwide. However, empirical results show that primary school students use such shortcut strategies rather infrequently. The aims of the present study were to analyze the extent to which Dutch sixth…

Park, Jiyoon – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Despite the growing attention being paid to teaching mathematics for students with disabilities, the existing research tends to focus on mathematical skill acquisition, but not on skill maintenance. Maintenance of mathematical skills is especially important as mathematics has applications in daily life and is directly related to important life…

Aksoy, Nuri Can; Yazlik, Derya Ozlem – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
In this study, it was aimed to determine the errors and misunderstandings of 5th and 6th grade middle school students in fractions and operations with fractions. For this purpose, the case study model, which is a qualitative research design, was used in the research. In the study, maximum diversity sampling, which is a purposeful sampling method,…

Rumiati, Rumi – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Kayla was a 15 years old girl with Down syndrome attending a special education school in Indonesia. A modification of Wright et al.'s (2006) approach to assessment documented her number knowledge and arithmetical strategies. This paper discusses the assessment process and the results focusing on her ability to solve number problems. Results show…

Stokes, Patricia D. – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2016
Experts think in patterns and structures using the specific "language" of their domains. For mathematicians, these patterns and structures are represented by numbers, symbols and their relationships (Stokes, 2014a). To determine whether elementary students in the United States could learn to think in mathematical patterns to solve…

Murata, Aki; Kattubadi, Sailaja – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2012
In considering mathematics problem solving as a model-eliciting activity (Lesh & Doerr, 2003; Lesh & Harel, 2003; Lesh & Zawojewski, 2008), it is important to know "what" students are modeling for the problems: situations or solutions. This study investigated Grade 3 students' mathematization process by examining how they modeled different…

van Klinken, Eduarda – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2012
This article outlines how a Brisbane independent school, Clayfield College, improved the ability of its Year 3 students to solve addition and subtraction word problems by utilising a schematic approach. It was observed that while students could read the words in the text of a written problem, many had difficulty identifying the core information…
