What Happens When a Climber Falls? Young Climbers Mathematise a Climbing Situation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Fyhn, Anne Birgitte – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
Students in Norway and other countries experience vectors as a difficult topic. Four young skilled climbers, who all did well in mathematics at school, participated in the Vector Study (VS). They participated for free and each lesson lasted until the students decided it was over. The idea was to investigate how climbing may function as a basis for…

Carlsen, Martin; Erfjord, Ingvald; Hundeland, Per Sigurd; Monaghan, John – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
This paper focuses on kindergarten teachers' interactions with young children during mathematical learning activities involving the use of digital tools. We aim to characterise the teachers' roles and actions in these activities and extend considerations of teachers' orchestrations current in the research literature with regard to agency and…

Engaging with Mathematics in the Kindergarten. Orchestrating a Fairy Tale through Questioning and Use of Tools
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carlsen, Martin – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2013
The aim of this study is to analyse how a kindergarten teacher orchestrated a mathematical activity involving a fairy tale. Taking a sociocultural perspective on learning and development, naturally occurring talk-in-interaction has been analysed in order to scrutinise the subtleties of the orchestration. The fairy tale "Goldilocks and the…

Mathematical Speech and Practical Action: A Case Study of the Challenges of Including Mathematics in a School Technology Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bungum, Berit; Manshadi, Saeed; Lysne, Dag Atle – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This paper presents a case study of how a teacher and nine-year-old students deal with mathematics in a practical technology project. By analysing videotaped dialogues between teacher and a pair of students working on constructing a house model, we identify challenges of meaningful inclusion of mathematics in the project. The dialogues are…

Indigenous Teachers' Experiences of the Implementation of Culture-Based Mathematics Activities in Sami School
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nutti, Ylva Jannok – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2013
The goal of Indigenous education is that it should be approached on the basis of the Indigenous language and culture; this is also the case with Sami education. The Sami School Board has stated that all teaching in Sami schools should be culturally based, despite the fact that Sami culture-based teaching is not specifically defined. Therefore,…
