Way, Jennifer; Cartwright, Katherin – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
This paper presents an initial analysis of 10 Preschool children's responses to a look-draw-trace-draw task. The findings suggest that figure-tracing helped half the children to produce a more accurate representation of the geometric figure presented to them, in their second drawing.

Barlow, Angela T.; Watson, Lucy A.; Tessema, Amdeberhan A.; Lischka, Alyson E.; Strayer, Jeremy F. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2018
The inspection of mistakes can play a powerful role in an individual's learning process (Boaler 2015). The purpose of this article is to support the reader in selecting mistakes that can be leveraged to benefit the learning of all students. Specifically, the authors focus on "which" and "why": "which" mistakes to…

Baldinger, Erin E.; Campbell, Matthew P.; Graif, Foster – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Effectively leading whole-class mathematics discussions is made more difficult when students' contributions are incomplete, imprecise, or not yet correct, and not easily correctable--what we call "errors." Through purposefully designed opportunities to investigate, enact, and reflect on teaching, teacher candidates (TCs) can develop…

Misailidou, Christina; Williams, Jullian – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
We examine eight cases of argumentation in relation to a proportional reasoning task--the "Paint" task--in which the "constant sum" strategy was a significant factor. Our analysis of argument follows Toulmin's (1958) approach and in the discourse we trace factors which seem to facilitate changes in argument. We find that the arguments of "constant…
