Guided Mathematical Inquiry (GMI) supports the development of deep understandings about mathematics concepts as students learn to address inquiry questions with evidence-based claims. Developing an evidence-based focus has been shown to be problematic with children. This paper presents how a framework for evidence was developed through the expert…

Peer reviewedWilliams-Pierce, Caro; Plaxco, David; Reimer, Paul N.; Simpson, Amber; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Burke, James P.; Sinclair, Nathalie; Guyevskey, Victoria; Ellis, Amy B.; Dogan, Muhammed F. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Mathematical play has a fairly short history, with strong roots further back in time (e.g., Papert, Montessori), and understanding the role of mathematical play from early childhood to adulthood is, as yet. unmapped. This working group will build on the success of last year's working group and continue to provide a community space to explore and…

This working group will engage PMENA members to better understanding the nature of mathematical modeling in the early grades while considering the student perspective and recognizing the importance of teachers knowing their students and the contexts that are meaningful to their students. We will investigate how PK-6 teachers demonstrate the…

Direct linkJames Hiebert; Dawn Berk; Emily Miller; Heather Gallivan; Erin Meikle – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
We investigated whether the mathematics studied in 2 content courses of an elementary teacher preparation program was retained and used by graduates when completing tasks measuring knowledge for teaching mathematics. Using a longitudinal design, we followed 2 cohorts of prospective teachers for 3 to 4 years after graduation. We assessed…

Zambak, Vecihi S.; Magiera, Marta T. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
We report on a teaching experiment with pre-service teachers (PSTs) intended to support their understanding of the validity of mathematical arguments, and their ability to formulate mathematical arguments by conducting case analysis. PSTs used Toulmin's framework (1958/2003) and engaged in collective argumentation while solving crypto-arithmetic…

Thompson, Christine; Gabriel, Florence; Leonard, Simon – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2020
The authors explore how collaborative assessment design is an often overlooked but valid opportunity for professional learning. The article examines how student feedback and a well-designed assessment can reveal potential improvements to the teaching and learning of fractions.

Lelinge, Balli; Svensson, Christina – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2020
Few research studies have been conducted in a primary school in early mathematical education about the teaching of geometry. This research aims to contribute with knowledge of how teachers' awareness and understanding of necessary conditions to enhance students' abilities to discern two- and three-dimensional shapes develop. In this research,…

May, Pamela L. – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
This researcher has been greatly distressed, as fifth graders year after year have disregarded mental math strategies for the standard algorithm. Mathematically proficient students should be flexible, efficient and accurate when solving mental calculations. This researcher set out to find out how fifth graders' mental math practice improved their…

Cullen, Amanda L.; Lawton, Carrie A.; Patterson, Crystal S.; Cullen, Craig J. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
In this article, the authors discuss one lesson with 20 third-grade students at a public school in a suburban community of the midwestern region of the United States. Because this was the first time implementing the Snowboarding Spins and Flips activity, four teachers were in the room. One was the main teacher of the lesson while the other three…

Awofala, Adeneye Olarewaju; Sopekan, Oludola Sarah – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2020
One construct that lies in between the cognitive and affective domains of mathematics education is belief and this concept is rarely investigated in the Nigerian mathematics education community. Thus, an investigation of early-years future teachers' mathematical beliefs as determinants of performance in primary mathematics within the blueprint of…

Szczygiel, Monika – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2020
The study investigated the relationship between math anxiety in parents and teachers and math anxiety and math achievement in first- to third-grade children. The results indicate that math anxiety in fathers (but not mothers and teachers) is associated with math anxiety in first-grade children and third-grade girls. Math anxiety in mothers and…

Flores, Margaret M.; Hinton, Vanessa M.; Meyer, Jill M. – Remedial and Special Education, 2020
Understanding related to fraction concepts is a critical prerequisite for advanced study in mathematics such as algebra. Therefore, it is important that elementary students form conceptual and procedural understanding of fractional numbers, allowing for advancement in mathematics. The concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instructional sequence…

Powell, Sarah R.; Fluhler, Sally K. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
To understand mathematics, children must interpret mathematics symbols. In this study, we designed a brief assessment of mathematics symbols for children in the elementary grades. For each of 23 symbols, children identified the symbol, provided the meaning of the symbol, and used the symbol. We assessed 297 children in Grades 1, 3, and 5. Internal…

Malola, Mayamiko – African Educational Research Journal, 2020
The low performance of Grade 4 learners in the mathematical concept of word problems involving multiplication remains a concern for many researchers in mathematics education. Several studies conducted have largely focused on improving learners' performance on bare problems involving multiplication, with little focus on contextual problems. The…
