Direct linkDixon, Juli K.; Andreasen, Janet B.; Avila, Cheryl L.; Bawatneh, Zyad; Deichert, Deana L.; Howse, Tashana D.; Turner, Mercedes Sotillo – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2014
A goal of this study was to examine elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs) ability to contextualize and decontextualize fraction subtraction by asking them to write word problems to represent fraction subtraction expressions and to choose prewritten word problems to support given fraction subtraction expressions. Three themes emerged from the…

Lannin, John; van Garderen, Delinda; Switzer, J. Matthew; Buchheister, Kelley; Hill, Tiffany; Jackson, Christa – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2013
Number and operations serve as the "cornerstone" of the K-12 mathematics curriculum in many countries. Solving problems in the mathematical domains of algebra, geometry, measurement, and statistics is often closely connected to student knowledge of number and operation (Griffin, 2005). Although considerable knowledge exists regarding the…

Matney, Gabriel; Jackson, Jack L., II; Bostic, Jonathan – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2013
This mixed methods study describes the effects of a "minute contextual experience" on students' ability to solve a realistic assessment problem involving scale drawings and proportional reasoning. Minute contextual experience (MCE) is defined to be a brief encounter with a context in which aspects of the context are explored openly.…

Language and Number Values: The Influence of Number Names on Children's Understanding of Place Value
Browning, Sandra T.; Beauford, Judith E. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2012
In recent years, the idea of language influencing the cognitive development of an understanding of place value has received increasing attention. This study explored the influence of using explicit number names on pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students' ability to rote count, read two-digit numerals, model two-digit numbers, and identify the…

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…

Hauk, Shandy; Isom, Matthew A. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2009
This study investigated the influence of regular structured writing about problem solving on college algebra students' locus of control, flexibility of articulation, and accuracy in responding to written problem tasks. The writing assignments, acronym PSOLVE, provided students a framework for expressing their thoughts about mathematical actions,…
