Begolli, Kreshnik Nasi; Richland, Lindsey Engle; Jaeggi, Susanne M.; Lyons, Emily McLaughlin; Klostermann, Ellen C.; Matlen, Bryan J. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Individual differences in executive function (EF) are well established to be related to mathematics achievement, yet the mechanisms by which this occurs are not well understood. Comparing representations (problems, solutions, concepts) is central to mathematical thinking, and relational reasoning is known to rely upon EF resources. The current…

Beal, Carole R.; Rosenblum, L. Penny – Grantee Submission, 2015
The project was conducted to make an online tutoring program for math word problem solving accessible to students with visual impairments (VI). An online survey of teachers of students with VI (TVIs) guided the decision to provide the math content in the form of an iPad app, accompanied by print and braille materials. The app includes audio…

Magiera, Marta T.; Zawojewski, Judith S. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2011
This exploratory study focused on characterizing problem-solving situations associated with spontaneous metacognitive activity. The results came from connected case studies of a group of 3 purposefully selected 9th-grade students working collaboratively on a series of 5 modeling problems. Students' descriptions of their own thinking during…
