English language learners (ELLs), especially those outside major cities in North America, are integrated into mainstream classrooms, often without targeted language support. Form-focused instruction (FFI) is an approach to language instruction in which learner attention is focused on language form during meaning-based activities. Although FFI has…

Four upper secondary school teachers in Iceland were asked to implement a silent video task, intended to support students' understanding of mathematical concepts, with their 17-18 years old students and to give feedback to the researcher developing the task.

The authors describe activities designed to teach the concept of weight to five and six year old children, using the imaginary 'Measureland' and its brand-new ride 'The Zipline Balancer'. They explore how they addressed misconceptions and insights are provided into the evolving measurement understandings of young children.
