Fry, Kym; Makar, Katie; Hillman, Judith – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Even at the primary level, computational thinking (CT) can support young students to prepare for participating in futures that are immersed in data. In mathematics classrooms, there are few explanations of the ways CT can support students in formulating and solving complex problems. This paper presents an example of a primary classroom…

Kamariah; Toto Nusantara; Abdur Rahman As'ari; Hery Susanto – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
This study explores students' use of mathematical objects in each problem-solving phase based on an onto-semiotic perspective. The subjects of this research are students who solve problems in different ways but all with the correct result. The first student uses organizational data by applying the concept of permutations. In contrast, the second…

Heri Purnomo; Cholis Sa'dijah; Erry Hidayanto; Sisworo; Anita Adinda; Abdul Halim Abdullah – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Students have varying degrees of creativity and can develop their creative abilities in specific disciplines through various stimuli. Tracing the students' mathematical creativity is very important since creativity is not a gift for specific students; rather, all students have it. The participants of this study were 170 urban and rural middle…

Tian Li; Gaomin Sun; Xinlin Zhou; Tengfei Wang – Educational Psychology, 2023
The close relationship between working memory and maths problem solving is generally accepted, but the specifics of how working memory and its subcomponents contribute to maths problem solving remain poorly understood. Tests of working memory, maths problem problem solving, calculation, and intelligence were administered to 246 university…

Luczak, Richard; Erwin, Rob – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
Math modeling is a unique and powerful part of mathematics that is underutilized in contemporary classrooms. Teachers of all grade levels may utilize such modeling problems to better serve the students in their classrooms, with related analytical problem-solving activities that contribute to learners meeting the highest of learning standards. With…

McCarthy, Chris; Lan, Jie; Li, Jieying – PRIMUS, 2019
We present noncompetitive adsorption as "particles in a box with one sticky wall." We start with a general model that can be modeled as a simple ordinary differential equation (ODE). To verify the ODE students run a computer simulation. The ODE's solution imperfectly fits the simulation's data. This leads to the diffusion partial…

Nabb, Keith; Murawska, Jaclyn – PRIMUS, 2019
The Corvette Problem is a nonroutine investigation, one that provides an authentic context to explore many interrelated calculus ideas. In our years of sharing this problem with students and colleagues, we have found additional topics from the calculus curriculum to have rich interpretations in this environment. The Corvette Problem contextualizes…

Shurr, Jordan; Bouck, Emily C.; Bassette, Laura; Park, Jiyoon – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Basic mathematic skills at the early age are foundational for later learning. Many students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) struggle in academic learning without sufficient support. Research in the area of concrete manipulatives--tangible representations of abstract concepts--has been found effective. In addition, promising research has…

Samosa, Resty C.; Barribal, Jemie; Cupan, Roschelle S.; Pagulayan, Jane R.; Tampipi, Jessalyn N. – Online Submission, 2021
This study assessed the effectiveness of an online-merge-offline Jamboard application as an innovation in teaching word problems to Grade 4 learners was evaluated in this study. The research evaluates a learner's level of mathematical word problem skills in terms of understanding, devising a plan, solving a problem, and interpreting, as well as…

Chimmalee, Benjamas; Anupan, Anuchit – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Problem-solving is considered as an important skill for learning Mathematics. Integration of cloud technology into Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) has been considered as an instructional approach to study students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the suitability of the MEAs using cloud…

Akkurt, Yasemin Yilmaz; Durmus, Soner – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2022
The aim of this paper is to review some studies conducted with different learning areas in which the schemes of different participants emerge. Also it is about to show how mathematical proofs are handled in these studies by considering Harel and Sowder's classification of proof schemes with specific examples. As a result, it was seen that the…

Zhang, Ling; Jackson, Haidee A.; Hunt, Tiffany L.; Carter, Richard Allen; Yang, Sohyun; Emerling, Christopher R. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2022
Mathematical problem solving is a complex cognitive activity, which poses difficulties for students with and without disabilities in inclusive learning environments. With a variety of functions, Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have the potential to enhance personalized learning to meet the diverse needs of all students. This paper provides…

Roan, Elizabeth; Czocher, Jennifer – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Literature typically describes mathematization, the process of transforming a real-world situation into a mathematical model, in terms of desirable actions and behaviors students exhibit. We attended to STEM undergraduate students' quantitative reasoning as they derived equations. Analysis of the meanings they held for arithmetic operations (+, -,…

Estrada, Sharon Samantha Membreño; Soto, Claudia Margarita Acuña – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
The number line is a model that is used to measure, count, order and even operate, which requires a symbolic interpretation. Then, we investigate the conceptions of 72 in service secondary teachers, when they manage the model of the number line associated with order, spatial location and the relative position between numbers and marks. In a…
