Krawitz, Janina; Chang, Yu-Ping; Yang, Kai-Lin; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
To solve mathematical modelling problems, students must translate real-world situations, which are typically presented in text form, into mathematical models. To complete the translation process, the problem-solver must first understand the real-world situation. Therefore, reading comprehension can be considered an essential part of solving…

Thomas Bickerton, Robert; Sangwin, Chris J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We discuss a practical method for assessing mathematical proof online. We examine the use of faded worked examples and reading comprehension questions to understand proof. By breaking down a given proof, we formulate a checklist that can be used to generate comprehension questions which can be assessed automatically online. We then provide some…

Gallagher, Melissa A.; Ellis, Laura; Weiland, Travis – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
In this article, the authors offer four specific reading comprehension strategies that mathematics teachers of all levels can employ with their students when working on word problems: (1) visualizing; (2) retelling; (3) making connections; and (4) asking questions. These strategies, which have a substantial research base in literacy, are discussed…

Kole A. Norberg; Husni Almoubayyed; Logan De Ley; April Murphy; Kyle Weldon; Steve Ritter – Grantee Submission, 2024
Large language models (LLMs) offer an opportunity to make large-scale changes to educational content that would otherwise be too costly to implement. The work here highlights how LLMs (in particular GPT-4) can be prompted to revise educational math content ready for large scale deployment in real-world learning environments. We tested the ability…

Li, Jui-Teng; Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Swanson, H. Lee – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
We explored the role of three math instructional practices by teachers (explicit instruction, guided practice, peer interaction) in predicting current Spanish and English reading comprehension and later Spanish and English math problem-solving performance of English learners (ELs). In this study, math was taught in Spanish. We had 26 teachers and…

Panse, Anja; Alcock, Lara; Inglis, Matthew – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
Does reading a mathematical proof for validation engender different behaviors from reading it for comprehension? Experts and novices each read two mathematical proofs under different sets of instructions: they were asked to understand one proof, and to assess the validity of the other. Their eye movements were recorded while they read and were…

van Leendert, Annemiek; Doorman, Michiel; Drijvers, Paul; Pel, Johan; van der Steen, Hans – Journal of the International Association of Special Education, 2020
It is difficult to read mathematical expressions in braille, whether or not in coordination with text to speech (TTS) synthesis. The researchers in this study investigated the effect of an intervention on the braille readers' performance in reading and comprehending mathematical expressions as well as the braille readers' ability to make…

Tooher, Helen; Johnson, Patrick – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
This pilot study explores the effectiveness of a strategy for overcoming post-primary students' misconceptions within the topic of algebra. Although central to the study of mathematics, algebra can be an area of difficulty for many students. A misconception is typically classified as flawed understanding of a concept causing repeated errors, and…
