Minchul Kang – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Since the introduction by Kermack and McKendrick in 1927, the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model has been a foundational model to comprehend and predict the dynamics of infectious diseases. Almost for a century, the SIR model has been modified and extended to meet the needs of different characteristics of various infectious…

Jiniee Park; Gerardo Ramirez; Daeun Park – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Increasing number of studies have revealed that teachers' math anxiety is related to the use of less effective pedagogical practices, which can lead to reduced math achievement among elementary school students. Children's math experience begins before formal schooling. However, there is limited information about the effect of preschool teachers'…

Sigmon, Stephanie D.; Halpin, Kelly Q.; Ettere, Damien J.; Suh, Jennifer – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
This article models how to plan and facilitate implementing the same task in two sixth-grade classrooms with two different learning goals using the Five Practices structure.

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…

Holton, Derek – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
This article presents several mathematics problems on the same theme that can be used in class or for independent study. It is very difficult to show students how mathematics research is done by mathematicians, so the author first introduces a problem that can be tackled solely by arithmetic and then gives an idea of how a mathematician might…

Willoughby, Laura – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate the reactions students with low interest in mathematics have to multiple mathematics tasks. Interest has been shown to influence students' engagement, motivation, and achievement (Renninger & Bachrach, 2015; Hidi & Harackiewicz, 2000; Kang & Keinonen, 2018). Therefore, understanding what…

Neihaus, Aubrey; Kalinec-Craig, Crystal; Prasad, Priya V.; Wood, Marcy B. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Mathematics teachers, are always making and remaking their curricula to better serve the needs of their students. Sometimes, these revisions happen while they are teaching a new task. At other times, as they grow in their thinking, they become aware that some of the tasks they've used for years--and might even name as favorites for their potential…

Evans, Tanya; Mejía-Ramos, Juan Pablo; Inglis, Matthew – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Offering explanations is a central part of teaching mathematics, and understanding those explanations is a vital activity for learners. Given this, it is natural to ask what makes a good mathematical explanation. This question has received surprisingly little attention in the mathematics education literature, perhaps because the field has no…

Janice P. J. Fong; Marah Sutherland; Gena Nelson – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2025
In the current article, the authors outline ways for early childhood educators, such as general and special education teachers, district math coaches, and other personnel involved with school- and district-level math initiatives, to engage caregivers in home math activities, with a focus on concepts already taught in school and aligned with…

Emma C. Gargroetzi; Gina Y. Wei – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
This activity engages students with the concept of mathematics identity to expand conceptions of what mathematics is and therefore what doing mathematics and being mathematical can mean. By mathematics identity, we refer both to ways a learner sees themselves and participates in mathematics, and the ways that others speak about or treat that…

Ming C. Tomayko; Jordan L. Almony – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
There is a growing reliance on plastic, even though it is a synthetic material that does not decompose. This article presents a series of six mathematics activities that use plastics as the context to teach environmental education to seventh-grade students. The activities can increase students' awareness of the plastic problem while also serving…

Parrish, Christopher W.; Snider, Rachel B.; Creager, Mark A. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2023
Cognitively demanding tasks have been shown to support students' understanding of mathematics. How a task is launched, or introduced, determines how students engage with the task, as well as the type of work the teacher engages in during the task implementation. The authors designed a unit focused on launching a task where prospective teachers…

Adleff, Ann-Kristin; Ross, Natalie; König, Johannes; Kaiser, Gabriele – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Tasks play an important role in mathematics education, as they provide opportunities for students to develop their competencies and to cognitively engage with the mathematical content. The potential for cognitive activation as a central feature of a mathematical task has been considered in numerous studies, mostly as a didactical analysis by means…

Smith, Michael D. – PRIMUS, 2023
This article presents several activities suitable for a transition to proofs course. In addition, this article surveys literature in support of active learning in the transition to proofs course and discusses how these activities have been successfully implemented in one such course.

Levenson, Esther S.; Barkai, Ruthi; Tirosh, Dina; Tsamir, Pessia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
This study focuses on adults who are neither preschool teachers nor professional caregivers and investigates their beliefs regarding the importance of engaging young children with numerical activities. It also examines the types of numerical activities adults report having observed children engaging with, as well as the types of activities they…
