Miles, Sandra J. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
To improve understanding of identities and inverses, and to provide a stronger foundation for future mathematics, Sandra Miles designed a two-part lesson that makes the relationship between identities and inverses explicit. This article illustrates Miles' teaching of the first part of the lesson, focused on addition and subtraction, and then gives…

Ziegler, Esther; Edelsbrunner, Peter A.; Stern, Elsbeth – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Teacher-directed and self-directed learning have been compared across various contexts. Depending on the settings and the presentation of material, mixed benefits are found; the specific circumstances under which either condition is advantageous are unclear. We combined and reanalyzed data from two experimental studies investigating the effects of…

Ilukena, Alex Mbonabi; Utete, Christina Nyarai; Kasanda, Chosi – International Education Studies, 2020
This research paper reports strategies used by Grade 6 learners in multiplying whole numbers in five selected primary schools in Kavango East and West regions. A total of 200 learners' mathematics exercise books were analysed in order to identify the commonly used strategies by learners in multiplying whole numbers. A total of ten teachers…

Ziegler, Esther; Edelsbrunner, Peter A.; Stern, Elsbeth – Educational Psychology Review, 2018
Knowledge representations that result from practicing problem solving can be expected to differ from knowledge representations that emerge from explicit verbalizing of principles and rules. We examined the degree to which the two types of learning improve problem-solving knowledge and verbal explanation knowledge in classroom instruction. We…

Rodrigues, Jessica; Dyson, Nancy I.; Hansen, Nicole; Jordan, Nancy C. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2016
Fractions are troublesome for many children, especially students with learning difficulties and disabilities in mathematics. To address this serious educational concern, this article recommends the use of number lines to build fraction sense. Math activities that center on the number line build fraction concepts as early as third grade. A number…

Johanning, Debra I.; Shockey, Kimberly S. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
The data used for the qualitative analysis reported here were generated as part of a larger study to understand and characterize teacher practice related to engaging students in algorithmic thinking associated with the fraction operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This paper presents ways in which teachers used…

Vendlinski, Terry P.; Chung, Greg K. W. K.; Binning, Kevin R.; Buschang, Rebecca E. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2011
Understanding the meaning of rational numbers and how to perform mathematical operations with those numbers seems to be a perennial problem in the United States for both adults and children. Based on previous work, we hypothesized that giving students more time to practice using rational numbers in an environment that enticed them to apply their…
