Barrett, Jeffrey E.; Sarama, Julie; Clements, Douglas H.; Cullen, Craig; McCool, Jenni; Witkowski-Rumsey, Chepina; Klanderman, David – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2012
We examined children's development of strategic and conceptual knowledge for linear measurement. We conducted teaching experiments with eight students in grades 2 and 3, based on our hypothetical learning trajectory for length to check its coherence and to strengthen the domain-specific model for learning and teaching. We checked the hierarchical…

Clements, Douglas H.; Wilson, David C.; Sarama, Julie – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2004
The purpose of this research is to chart the mathematical actions-on-objects young children use to compose geometric shapes. The ultimate goal is the creation of a hypothetical learning trajectory based on previous research, as well as instrumentation to assess levels of learning along the developmental progression underlying the trajectory. We…
