This article describes an instructional sequence used with inservice secondary mathematics teachers as part of a graduate course. The instructional sequence focused on designing tasks using Interactive Geometry Software (IGS). This study answers a call for replication studies to investigate the use of an established instructional sequence. Results…

Manipulative-based instructional sequences--including both concrete and virtual manipulative instructional sequences--are evidence-based or research-based mathematical interventions for students with disabilities. However, as options for manipulative-based instructional sequences increase, educators need support in deciding the best approach. In…

In this paper a didactic proposal is presented which consists of a methodology aimed at secondary level mathematics teachers, the aim of this proposal is to provide the teacher with a tool to design teaching sequences in order to take them to the classroom; These designs have the particularity of incorporating digital technology for the…

Effectiveness of mathematical education as non-linear, composite and open system, formation and development of cognitive abilities of the trainee are wholly defined in the solution of complex tasks by means of modern achievements in science to high school practice adaptation. The possibility of complex tasks solution arises at identification of…

Mathematics instruction -- and interventions to support mathematics teaching -- for students with intellectual disability is important yet underexamined. This study explored a graduated instructional sequence referred to as the virtual-representational (VR) as a mathematical intervention. Researchers taught four students with disabilities what…
