Mikeas Silva de Lima; Lilian Pozzer; Salete Linhares Queiroz – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
In the context of scholarly and scientific discourse, students often have to deal with graphic-visual modes of communication, which requires their ability to comprehend and utilize inscriptions, that is, scientific visual representations, to convey information effectively--what we call graphical literacy. Despite its pivotal role for training…

Rodríguez-Nieto, Camilo Andrés; Rodríguez-Vásquez, Flor Monserrat; Moll, Vicenç Font – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
The literature reports that students have difficulties connecting different meanings, multiple representations of the derivative, and performing reversibility processes between representations of f and f'. The research goal is to analyze the mathematical connections that university students establish when solving tasks that involve the graphs of f…

Dae S. Hong; Jae Ki Lee – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study examined college calculus instructors' preferences in solving two calculus tasks to examine college calculus instructors' use of important cognitive roots in understanding derivatives of function. Our results showed that only one instructor consistently uses cognitive roots while other instructors either focus on algebraic methods or…

Karunia Eka Lestari; Mokhammad Ridwan Yudhanegara – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Graph theory allows the student to work on problems that require imagination, intuition, systematic exploration, conjecturing, and reasoning. It implies that mathematical investigation skill is essential to be proficient in Graph Theory. In this study, we conduct empirical research that deals with associational research. There were 97 students…

Paul J. Emigh; Corinne A. Manogue – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Physics experts and students commonly use a variety of representations when working with partial derivatives, including symbols, graphs, and words. One especially powerful representation is the contour graph. In open-ended problem-solving interviews with nine upper-division physics students, we asked students to determine derivatives from contour…

Anders Wiik; Pauline Vos – Adults Learning Mathematics, 2024
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic urged authorities to share quantitative information such as infection and death rates. One way of disseminating was through graphs, maps, and diagrams. Such data visualizations communicate numeric data in compact ways, but also require a particular mathematical literacy from readers. We conceptualized this particular…

Alberto Arnal-Bailera – PRIMUS, 2024
This article presents a reflection on a teaching experience involving the use of the Brügner tangram, an interesting but little-known manipulative material. It details an activity conducted as part of an undergraduate mathematics education course for prospective primary school teachers. The main objective of this paper is to present the…

David John; Ritayan Mitra – Frontline Learning Research, 2023
Eye tracking technology enables the visualisation of a problem solver's eye movement while working on a problem. The eye movement of experts has been used to draw attention to expert problem solving processes in a bid to teach procedural skills to learners. Such affordances appear as eye movement modelling examples (EMME) in the literature. This…

Tupouniua, John Griffith – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
A growing emphasis on computational thinking worldwide necessitates student proficiency in creating algorithms. Focusing on the use of counterexamples for developing student-invented algorithms, I reanalyze two pieces of data from previously published research, pertaining to two different cases of students' algorithmatizing activity. In both…

Norton, Anderson; Ulrich, Catherine; Kerrigan, Sarah – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
This article introduces unit transformation graphs (UTGs) as a tool for diagramming the ways students use sequences of mental actions to solve mathematical tasks. We report findings from a study in which we identified patterns in the ways preservice elementary school teachers relied on working memory to coordinate mental actions when operating in…

Salas-Velasco, Manuel – Journal of Education for Business, 2021
The author focused on solving problems of third-degree price discrimination under a monopoly by integrating microeconomic theory and spreadsheet modeling. Price discrimination refers to a firm situation in which the same good is sold to different groups of consumers at different prices. First, the author included an introductory math background…

Koparan, Timur; Rodríguez-Alveal, Francisco – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2022
Solving real-life problems through mathematical modeling is one of the aims of modern mathematics curricula. For this reason, prospective mathematics teachers need to acquire modeling skills and use these skills in learning environments in terms of creating rich learning environments. With this study, it is aimed to examine the reflections of…

Lee, Hwa Young; Hardison, Hamilton L.; Kandasamy, Sindura; Guajardo, Lino – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
In this report, we present how one prospective elementary teacher (PT) engaged in the Ant Farm Task, which we designed to investigate PTs' reasoning about coordinate systems. We highlight the cognitive resources the PT drew upon in solving the task via the establishment of a Cartesian coordination and consider educational implications. [For the…
