Norton, Anderson; Ulrich, Catherine; Kerrigan, Sarah – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
We introduce a methodology for diagramming the ways students use sequences of mental actions to solve mathematical tasks. We studied 12 pre-service teachers as they solved a set of fractions tasks, ranked by cognitive demand. We present the unit transformation graphs for one of those pre-service teachers, to illustrate how she experienced and met…

Palatnik, Alik; Koichu, Boris – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2015
The paper presents and analyses a sequence of events that preceded an insight solution to a challenging problem in the context of numerical sequences. A threeweek long solution process by a pair of ninth-grade students is analysed by means of the theory of shifts of attention. The goal for this article is to reveal the potential of this theory…

Wilson, W. Stephen – AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, 2009
This article first describes some of the basic skills and knowledge that a solid elementary school mathematics foundation requires. It then elaborates on several points germane to these practices. These are then followed with a discussion and conclude with final comments and suggestions for future research. The article sets out the five…
