Donovan, Andrea Marquardt; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
This research examined whether children's construals of mathematical manipulatives -- as toys or as tools for doing mathematics -- influenced their learning from a lesson with the manipulatives. Children (grades 2 and 3) were presented with a set of buckets and beanbags, and they were either given no information about the manipulatives (control)…

Çagirgan, Dilek; Karaduman, Gülsah Batdal; Sönmez, Damla – Online Submission, 2021
The aim of this study is to evaluate the classroom teacher candidates' metaphorical perceptions about the mathematics course through the visuals they create. The sample of the study consists of 36 classroom teacher candidates studying at a state university in Istanbul. The case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used as…

Maria Bempeni; Stavroula Poulopoulou; Xenia Vamvakoussi – Online Submission, 2021
In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that: a) there are individual differences in secondary students' conceptual and procedural fraction knowledge, and b) these differences are predicted by students' approach (deep vs. surface) to mathematics learning. We used two instruments developed and evaluated for the purposes of the study which…

Lyndsey Dianne Zingerman – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This qualitative descriptive study was designed to address the deficiency in early math literacy skills, specifically those related to multiplication fact fluency, in early elementary students. More specifically, this study was designed to gather research and data to provide understanding of the mathematical curriculum instruction used in…

Daniel Ortiz; Tania Azucena Chicalote Jiménez – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
A digital wall is a tool for students to structure and register their online work on mathematical problem-solving activities that involve the coordinated use of digital technologies. How could students use such digital wall to understand mathematical concepts and to develop problem-solving competencies? The aim of this study is to analyze and…

Prediger, Susanne; Quabeck, Kim; Erath, Kirstin – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022
Adaptive teaching on the micro-level of teacher-student interaction has often been investigated, but rarely with respect to students' content-specific learning pathways. In this paper, we present an analytic approach to disentangle the learning content into its components and to capture the content-specific adaptivity in teaching practices with…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate how languages in a multilingual classroom come to participate in the objectification process in the context of pattern generalization. Data came from the transcription of 10 videotaped sessions in grade 7. A mixed quantitative-qualitative approach was adopted for the analysis. The significance of triadic…

Lucas, Krista L.; Lucas, Timothy A. – PRIMUS, 2022
It is increasingly important for mathematics students to engage in active learning along with discussion of material with their peers. "Slopes" is a mobile application designed to visualize solutions to differential equations and support active learning in the classroom. We implemented group activities using "Slopes" into an…

Burchinal, Margaret R.; Krowka, Sarah; Newman-Gonchar, Rebecca; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Wavell, Samantha; Lyskawa, Julia; Haymond, Kelly; Bierman, Karen; Gonzalez, Jorge E.; McClelland, Megan M.; Nelson, Kimberly; Pentimonti, Jill; Purpura, David J.; Sachs, Jason; Sarama, Julie; Schlesinger-Devlin, Elizabeth; Washington, Julie; Rosen, Emily – What Works Clearinghouse, 2022
By learning social-emotional, executive function, mathematics, and literacy skills in preschool, children are likely to be better prepared for the higher expectations and more formal curriculum in elementary school. Ensuring that all children are well prepared for elementary school is a priority for parents, caregivers, guardians, and policy…

Sterling Alic; Dorottya Demszky; Zid Mancenido; Jing Liu; Heather C. Hill; Dan Jurafsky – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
Responsive teaching is a highly effective strategy that promotes student learning. In math classrooms, teachers might funnel students towards a normative answer or focus students to reflect on their own thinking, deepening their understanding of math concepts. When teachers focus, they treat students' contributions as resources for collective…

Oshanova, Nurzhamal; Anuarbekova, Gulzat; Shekerbekova, Shirinkyz; Arynova, Gylnar – Australian Educational Computing, 2019
In this paper, the researchers have tried to solve one of the didactic tasks of an educational institution - the formation of a student's thinking, the development of their algorithmic style of thinking and intelligence. Since an important component of human intellectual development is precisely algorithmic thinking, learning to solve standard…

Bennett, Amy; Inglis, Matthew; Gilmore, Camilla – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Parents are frequently advised to use number books to help their children learn the meaning of number words and symbols. How should these resources be designed to best support learning? Previous research has shown that number books typically include multiple concrete representations of number. However, a large body of mathematics education…

Gleason, Jim; Bagley, Spencer; Thomas, Matthew; Rice, Lisa; White, Diana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Concept inventories have become increasingly common in STEM disciplines as a means of assessing student conceptual understanding on a given topic, and overall they have led to significant reform in the teaching and learning of content in their respective disciplines. In mathematics, the use of the Calculus Concept Inventory seems, anecdotally and…

Somasundram, Piriya; Akmar, Sharifah Norul; Eu, Leong Kwan – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
Pattern generalisation is one of the most important elements in developing functional thinking in elementary school which leads to build foundation to work with algebra in later years of education. Therefore, this study took an initiative to study the performance of year five pupils in pattern generalisation and its correlation with mathematics…
