Burazin, Andrijana; Kajander, Ann; Lovric, Miroslav – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Continuing our critique of the classical derivation of the formula for the area of a disk, we focus on the limiting processes in geometry. Evidence suggests that intuitive approaches in arguing about infinity, when geometric configurations are involved, are inadequate, and could easily lead to erroneous conclusions. We expose weaknesses and…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2019
This paper explored the following: (1) teachers' ways of attending to students' written responses in pattern generalization tasks and (2) differences in the ways of attending to students' responses associated with different factors. A questionnaire was developed to classify teachers' ways of attending to students' written responses. The…

Stump, Sheryl L. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2011
What is the role of patterns in developing algebraic reasoning? This important question deserves thoughtful attention. In response, this article examines some differing views of algebraic reasoning, discusses a controversy regarding patterns, and describes how three types of patterns--in contextual problems, in growing geometric figures, and in…

Calder, Nigel; Brown, Tony; Hanley, Una; Darby, Susan – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2006
This paper is concerned with the use of spreadsheets within mathematical investigational tasks. Considering the learning of both children and pre-service teaching students, it examines how mathematical phenomena can be seen as a function of the pedagogical media through which they are encountered. In particular, it shows how pedagogical apparatus…
