Direct linkYee, Sean – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2013
While the average teenager's conversation may seem inundated with the word "like", in the mathematics classroom, teenagers use it with purpose. Linguists study the word "like" to understand and categorize comparative statements. By overlapping linguistics and mathematics education within the frame of cognitive science, this study found that high…

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…

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…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Altay, Mesture Kayhan – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the proportional reasoning skills of Turkish middle school students. It was also aimed at revealing the differences in students' performances in terms of their gender, grade level, and problem types--missing value and numerical comparison. The study was conducted with two sixth and seventh grade classes…

Reed, Michelle K. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2008
Schools following the Montessori philosophy use individual and small-group teaching methods and hands-on, concrete materials. This study investigated the understanding of place value concepts and abilities of Montessori students by comparing interview task responses of 93 students in grades 1-3 in a Montessori school (n = 47) and in a mostly…
