Solar, Horacio; Ortiz, Andrés; Arriagada, Victoria; Deulofeu, Jordi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Given the importance of modelling in mathematics classrooms, and despite the extensive body of research on teacher support for promoting the mathematical modelling cycle in the classroom, authors have overlooked how teacher support for argumentation can contribute to this cycle. This study is aimed at characterizing teacher support for…

Bennett, Albert B., Jr. – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Mathematical proofs often leave students unconvinced or without understanding of what has been proved, because they provide no visual-geometric representation. Presented are geometric models for the finite geometric series when r is a whole number, and the infinite geometric series when r is the reciprocal of a whole number. (MNS)
