Direct linkLiu, Yating; Manouchehri, Azita – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2013
In this work we explored proof schemes used by 41 middle school students when confronted with four mathematical propositions that demanded verification of accuracy of statements. The students' perception of mathematically complete vs. convincing arguments in different mathematics branches was also elicited. Lastly, we considered whether the…

Levenson, Esther; Tsamir, Pessia; Tirosh, Dina; Dreyfus, Tommy; Barkai, Ruthi; Tabach, Michal – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2012
This paper focuses on the first session of a professional development course revolving around the topic of mathematical statements and their appropriate proving methods. It analyzes the interactive development of the teachers' knowledge by focusing on the relation between the mathematical statements, the instructor, and the teachers. Different…

Ford, Marilyn Sue; Usnick, Virginia – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2011
This project had two major goals: to determine the usefulness of individually-administered interview process to access elementary students' fluency with basic multiplication facts, and to determine whether a developmental sequence found in Australian mathematics education literature applied to elementary students in the United States. Students in…

Lucey, Thomas A.; Maxwell, Sheryl A. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2011
Most teacher education programs do not incorporate financial education preparations into courses required for early childhood, elementary education, and middle level candidates. The authors of this manuscript explore the reasons for this omission, particularly the mathematics education component, and clarify the issues surrounding this decision.…

Miller, Susan P.; Kaffar, Bradley J. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) teaching sequence with integrated strategy instruction for developing addition with regrouping competence among students with learning difficulties in mathematics. A total of 16 lessons were provided to 24 students during a six-week…

Butler, Melanie; Pyzdrowksi, Laura; Walker, Vennessa; Yoho, Stephanie – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2010
This paper gives results of a study on a Personal Response System (PRS). Three sections of college algebra are compared; one section used PRS and PowerPoint, one used PowerPoint, and one was considered a control. Students were given a pretest and posttest with a retired version of a mathematics ACT test, and all students gained an average of one…

Papick, Ira J.; Olson, Travis A.; Regis, Troy P. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2010
In this paper we analyze the mathematical treatment of numerically and geometrically defined patterns in a variety of middle school curricula. We provide several examples that illustrate a need for rethinking how the study of patterns and generalizations are presented in middle grade mathematics curricula and discuss some natural implications to…
