Segura, Carlos; Ferrando, Irene – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Fermi problems are real-context estimation tasks that are suitable for introducing open-ended problems in primary school education. To ensure their effective introduction in the classroom, teachers must have adequate proficiency to deal with them. One of the key aspects of problem-solving proficiency is flexibility, but there are few studies on…

Rodríguez-Muñiz, Luis J.; Aguilar-González, Álvaro; Lindorff, Ariel; Muñiz-Rodríguez, Laura – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Previous research in mathematics education has explored teachers' conceptions of mathematics and its teaching and learning, and how their instructional tendencies (e.g., "traditional", "technological", "spontaneous" and "investigative") relate to these conceptions. However, empirical evidence on this topic…

Vicente, Santiago; Verschaffel, Lieven; Sánchez, Rosario; Múñez, David – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
The success or failure of education systems in promoting student problem-solving skills depends on attitudinal, political, and pedagogical variables. Among these variables, the design of mathematics textbooks is thought to partially explain why students from high-achieving countries show better problem-solving ability in international assessments.…

Planas, Núria – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
The thinking of language as resource in mathematics education research has been more metaphorical than conceptual so far. This article provides grounds and reasons for the theorization of language as resource. Based on views from sociolinguistics and functional grammar, I propose a theorization that considers the social languages of learners and…

Planas, Núria – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
The data reported in this article come from a large project whose goal was to explore how Latin American students in Catalonia, Spain use their two languages--Spanish and Catalan--to support their learning of mathematics in small groups with other students who are Spanish- or Catalan-dominant. For 5 years, lessons from bilingual mathematics…

Andrews, Paul – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
Videotape is an increasingly used tool in cross-national studies of mathematics teaching. However, the means by which videotaped lessons are coded and analysed remains an underdeveloped area with scholars adopting substantially different approaches to the task. In this paper we present an approach based on generic descriptors of mathematics…

Barbe, Joaquim; Bosch, Marianna; Espinoza, Lorena; Gascon, Josep – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2005
The Anthropological Theory of Didactics describes mathematical activity in terms of "mathematical organisations" or "praxeologies" and considers the teacher as the "director of the didactic process" the students carry out, a process that is structured along six dimensions or "didactic moments." This paper…

Recio, Angel M.; Godino, Juan D. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2001
Examines the mathematical proof schemes of students starting their studies at the University of Cordoba and relates these schemes to the meanings of mathematical proof in different institutional contexts. Concludes that deductive mathematical proof is difficult for these students. Suggests that the different institutional meanings of proof might…
