Izsák, Andrew; Beckmann, Sybilla – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
We examine opportunities and challenges of applying a single, explicit definition of multiplication when modeling situations across an important swathe of school mathematics. In so doing, we review two interrelated conversations within multiplication research. The first has to do with identifying and classifying situations that can be modeled by…

Izsák, Andrew; Beckmann, Sybilla; Stark, Joy – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
The present study is motivated by a significant body of research documenting teachers' perennial difficulties with a critical swath of topics related to multiplication. In response, we track how Nina, a future middle grades mathematics teacher, made progress constructing explanations across topics by reasoning with measurement-based definitions of…

Izsák, Andrew; Kulow, Torrey; Beckmann, Sybilla; Stevenson, Dean; Ölmez, Ibrahim Burak – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2019
We report results from a mathematics content course intended to help future teachers form a coherent perspective on topics related to multiplication, including whole-number multiplication and division, fraction arithmetic, proportional relationships, and linear functions. We used one meaning of multiplication, based in measurement and expressed as…

Bradshaw, Laine; Izsák, Andrew; Templin, Jonathan; Jacobson, Erik – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2014
We report a multidimensional test that examines middle grades teachers' understanding of fraction arithmetic, especially multiplication and division. The test is based on four attributes identified through an analysis of the extensive mathematics education research literature on teachers' and students' reasoning in this content…

Beckmann, Sybilla; Izsák, Andrew – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2015
In this article, we present a mathematical analysis that distinguishes two distinct quantitative perspectives on ratios and proportional relationships: variable number of fixed quantities and fixed numbers of variable parts. This parallels the distinction between measurement and partitive meanings for division and between two meanings for…

Izsák, Andrew; Beckmann, Sybilla; Bradshaw, Laine – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
The present study extends recent advances coordinating research on cognition and psychometric modeling around fractions. Recent research has demonstrated that the Diagnosing Teachers' Multiplicative Reasoning Fractions survey provides information about distinct components necessary for reasoning in terms of quantities when solving fraction…

Jacobson, Erik; Izsák, Andrew – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2015
Past studies have suggested that in light of recent curriculum standards, many US teachers make limited use of drawn models in their mathematics instruction. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we investigated relationships between US teachers' opportunities to learn about, knowledge of, motivation for, and instructional use of drawn models for…
