Studies that consider the displays that students create to organize data are not common in the literature. This article compares fifth through eighth graders' difficulties with the creation of bar graphs using either raw data (Study 1, n = 155) or a provided table (Study 2, n = 152). Data in Study 1 showed statistical differences for the type…

Hohensee, Charles – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2014
The transfer of learning has been the subject of much scientific inquiry in the social sciences. However, mathematics education research has given little attention to a subclass called backward transfer, which is when learning about new concepts influences learners' ways of reasoning about previously encountered concepts. This study examined…

Hegedus, Stephen J.; Dalton, Sara; Roschelle, Jeremy; Penuel, William; Dickey-Kurdziolek, Margaret; Tatar, Deborah – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2014
We investigated prospects for reported sustainable adoption and sharing of an educational innovation through survey research including online questionnaires and telephone interviews. This investigation is part of the Scaling-Up SimCalc experimental program, which combines dynamic representational algebra software (SimCalc MathWorlds) with…

Vamvakoussi, Xenia; Vosniadou, Stella – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2012
In two experiments we explored the instructional value of a cross-domain mapping between "number" and "line" in secondary school students' understanding of density. The first experiment investigated the hypothesis that density would be more accessible to students in a geometrical context (infinitely many points on a straight line segment) compared…

Modestou, Modestina; Gagatsis, Athanasios – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2010
In this study we attempt to propose a new model of proportional reasoning based both on bibliographical and research data. This is impelled with the help of three written tests involving analogical, proportional, and non-proportional situations that were administered to pupils from grade 7 to 9. The results suggest the existence of a…

Stylianides, Gabriel J. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2009
Despite widespread agreement that the activity of "reasoning-and-proving" should be central to all students' mathematical experiences, many students face serious difficulties with this activity. Mathematics textbooks can play an important role in students' opportunities to engage in reasoning-and-proving: research suggests that many decisions that…

Jansen, Amanda – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2008
As mathematics teachers attempt to promote classroom discourse that emphasizes reasoning about mathematical concepts and supports students' development of mathematical autonomy, not all students will participate similarly. For the purposes of this research report, I examined how 15 seventh-grade students participated during whole-class discussions…
