Burroughs, Elizabeth A.; Arnold, Elizabeth G.; Álvarez, James A. M.; Kercher, Andrew; Tremaine, Rachel; Fulton, Elizabeth; Turner, Kyle – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
We study the ideas about teaching and learning mathematics that undergraduate students generate when they encounter tasks designed to embed approximations of teaching practice in mathematics courses taken by a general population of students. These tasks attend to the dual goals of developing an understanding of mathematics content and an…

Hamilton L. Hardison – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
A one-degree angle would certainly be difficult to draw accurately, especially without the aid of other tools like a protractor. However, mentally making a one-degree angle in visualized imagination is not only possible, but it is important for students' emergent understandings of angular measure. When students begin learning about length,…

Koh, Aloysius Wei Lun; Lee, Sze Chi; Lim, Stephen Wee Hun – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Teaching educational materials to others enhances the teacher's own learning of those to-be-taught materials, although the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the learning-by-teaching benefit is possibly a retrieval benefit. Learners (a) solved arithmetic problems (i.e., they neither taught nor retrieved;…

Hatisaru, Vesife – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2020
The current study examined pictorial and written descriptions of mathematics teaching and learning among a cohort of 120 students (aged 11 to 14 years) in three different lower secondary schools in Ankara, Turkey. A classroom environment with students working in groups or pairs and engaging in open-ended questions or tasks was unavailable. The…

Yildiz, Sevda Goktepe; Özdemir, Ahmet Sükrü – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
Design activities help students develop their three-dimensional thinking skills and gain engineering and technology literacy. This study investigated whether the spatial abilities and 3D geometrical thinking skills of the students differed according to approaches to learning mathematics before and after engineering design-based mathematics (EDBM)…

Stevenson-Milln, Carolyn – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2018
This paper reports on a study into pre-school children's self-regulated learning. Analysis is provided through findings taken from a larger study, the core aim of which was to contribute to developing and strengthening self-regulated learning competencies through merging Traditional African music and mathematics. An…

Steinke, Dorothea A. – Journal of Research and Practice for Adult Literacy, Secondary, and Basic Education, 2017
Community college developmental math students (N = 657) from three math levels were asked to place five whole numbers on a line that had only endpoints 0 and 20 marked. How the students placed the numbers revealed the same three stages of behavior that Steffe and Cobb (1988) documented in determining young children's number sense. 23% of the…

Lehtinen, Erno; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna; McMullen, Jake; Gruber, Hans – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
Contemporary theories of expertise development highlight the crucial role of deliberate practice in the development of high level performance. Deliberate practice is practice that intentionally aims at improving one's skills and competencies. It is not a mechanical or repetitive process of making performance more fluid. Instead, it involves a…

Burns, Marilyn – Educational Leadership, 2016
Math education consultant Marilyn Burns finds that teachers ask her the same three questions so often she's named them "The Big Three": What can I do with students who finish their math work more quickly?, How can I free up time to work with kids who need extra help?, and How can I differentiate math learning experiences? Burns, who…

Hitt, Fernando; Saboya, Mireille; Zavala, Carlos Cortés – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
Part of the research community that has followed the Early Algebra paradigm is currently delimiting the differences between arithmetic thinking and algebraic thinking. This trend could prevent new research approaches to the problem of learning algebra, hiding the importance of considering an arithmetico-algebraic thinking, a new approach which…

Carney, Michele B.; Smith, Everett; Hughes, Gwyneth R.; Brendefur, Jonathan L.; Crawford, Angela – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2016
Proportional reasoning is important to students' future success in mathematics and science endeavors. More specifically, students' fluent and flexible use of scalar and functional relationships to solve problems is critical to their ability to reason proportionally. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of systematically…

Buhrman, Danielle – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study uses components of action and self-study research to examine the design and enactment of modeling tasks with the goal of developing student modeling abilities. The author, a secondary mathematics teacher, first closely examined the curriculum design and instructional decisions she made as she prepared for a unit on mathematical modeling…

Seah, Rebecca; Horne, Marj; Berenger, Adrian – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This study surveyed and analysed four secondary school students' writing about a square. Sfard's discursive approach to understanding mathematical discourse was used to analyse the responses collected from 214 Australian secondary school students. The results showed that geometric knowledge was developed experientially and not developmentally.…

Fuson, Karen C.; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie – Phi Delta Kappan, 2015
Preparing children to be successful in mathematics begins with what they learn before they reach 1st grade. Math knowledge in prekindergarten and kindergarten predicts school achievement in math and in other topics, such as reading. Indeed, early math knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of math grades in high school, high school…

Denham, André R. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2016
Designing and developing games for learning is a difficult endeavor. Educational game designers must not only make an engaging and motivating game, but must also ensure that learning takes place as a result of gameplay. Educational researchers have sought to define design principles in order to lessen the difficulty involved with game design. In…
