Peter Curtis; Brett Moffett; David A. Martin – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2024
In this article, the authors explore how the 3C Model can be used to integrate other curriculum areas with mathematics, namely digital technologies. To illustrate the model, they provide a practical example of a teaching sequence. T he 3C Model is designed to create opportunities for applying reasoning and problem-solving skills and learning…

Chloe Woolley – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
Time estimations, patterns and measurement sense are important skills to develop within the mathematics classroom (Mildenhall, 2016; Thomas et al., 2017). To develop a true understanding of time, students need to holistically understand: the language of time, the notion of duration and succession, how time is measured, and the concept of time…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
Like terms are usually defined for variables with numerical coefficients. While the definition is sufficient to combine polynomial terms, it does not help the students to combine radical, logarithmic, or trigonometric terms. The purpose of this paper is to propose a lesson that introduces a broader definition of like terms and trialed with a group…

Davidson, Aylie – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Aylie Davidson introduces a model for collaborative teacher planning that arose from the work she did with teachers as part of her PhD research. She identifies five ingredients for planning mathematical learning sequences that when used in combination with the model, enhance the quality and rigour of teachers' mathematics planning and subsequent…

Israel, Maya; Lash, Todd – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
This paper presents findings from a two-year qualitative study examining integration of computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) into elementary mathematics instruction. Integrated units were developed by elementary teachers and CS/CT coaches with support from university faculty with expertise in CS/CT and elementary mathematics.…

Hranchuk, Kieva; Douglas Greer, R.; Longano, Jennifer – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2019
Prior research found that without the naming cusp, children did not learn from instructional demonstrations presented before learn units (IDLUs) (i.e., modeling an expected response twice for a learner prior to delivering an instructional antecedent), however, following the establishment of naming, they could. The present study was designed to…

Widjaja, Wanty; Groves, Susie; Ersozlu, Zara – International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and delivery of a lesson study unit in mathematics to pre-service primary teachers and to identify the opportunities and challenges resulting from the need to deliver the unit wholly online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: Cross-case analysis, using a…

Wake, Geoff; Swan, Malcolm; Foster, Colin – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2016
This article analyses lesson study as a mode of professional learning, focused on the development of mathematical problem solving processes, using the lens of cultural-historical activity theory. In particular, we draw attention to two activity systems, the classroom system and the lesson-study system, and the importance of making artefacts…

Falco, Lia D. – Middle School Journal, 2019
Findings from recent studies suggest that students' pathways into mathematics-related careers begin as early as middle school when students are forming lasting self-perceptions of their academic abilities. Middle school is also a time when students begin making choices about future coursework in math, science, and technology that will have…

Kaden, Ute; Patterson, Philip P. – Action in Teacher Education, 2014
This mixed-methods study explores changes over time in assessment strategies and identifies variables that facilitate that change by examining assessment practices of 11 teacher candidates enrolled in a one-year postbaccalaureate teacher education program that prepares for teaching in rural and urban settings of Alaska. Analyzing multiple data…

Lawson, John; Aggarwal, Pankaj; Leininger, Thomas; Fairchild, Kenneth – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
This article describes a collaborative learning experience in experimental design that closely approximates what practicing statisticians and researchers in applied science experience during consulting. Statistics majors worked with a teaching assistant from the chemistry department to conduct a series of experiments characterizing the variation…
