Wiles, Peter; Lemon, Travis; King, Alessandra – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2019
Middle school students are faced with a number of mathematical concepts that require new forms of reasoning. Although the shifts toward proportional and algebraic reasoning are often emphasized in middle school curricula, changes in the nature of geometric reasoning are not always given the same weight. As highlighted in "Catalyzing Change in…

Uygun, Tugba – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
This study reports the classroom mathematical practices proposed in an instructional sequence grounding on the principles of inquiry-based learning (IBL) through the use of the dynamic geometry software (DGS) in learning to teach geometric transformations. A 5-week instructional sequence consisting of IBL activities that were guided by the…

Yuliardi, Ricki; Rosjanuardi, Rizky – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
The relationship between spatial conceptions and students' spatial abilities is still rarely studied specifically, even though this is the basis for students to think in learning geometry. This paper aims to explore spatial abilities and the development of spatial ability theory, discusses the relationship between spatial conceptions in students'…

Barcelos Amaral, Rúbia; Hollebrands, Karen – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Three textbooks from Brazil and three textbooks from the United States were analysed with a focus on similarity and context-based tasks. Students' opportunities to learn similarity were examined by considering whether students were provided context-based tasks of high cognitive demand and whether those tasks included missing or superfluous…

Aktas, Gulfem Sarpkaya; Ünlü, Melihan – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
People need the idea of transformation geometry in order to understand the nature and environment they live in. The teachers should provide learning environments towards perceptual understanding in symmetry training and development practice skills of the students. In order to make up such a learning environment, teachers should have information…

Zorin, Barbara – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This study analyzed treatment of geometric transformations in presently available middle grades (6, 7, 8) student mathematics textbooks. Fourteen textbooks from four widely used textbook series were evaluated: two mainline publisher series, Pearson (Prentice Hall) and Glencoe (Math Connects); one National Science Foundation (NSF) funded curriculum…

Yazlik, Derya Ozlem; Ardahan, Halil – Online Submission, 2012
The overall aim of this study is to search whether teaching geometry with Cabri Geometry Plus II software have effects on 7th grade students' learning transformation geometry in mathematics. In this context, the researcher has used a pre-test and post-test research design with a control group. The research sample consisted of 135 students in total…

Portnoy, Neil; Grundmeier, Todd A.; Graham, Karen J. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2006
This research explored students' views of geometric objects through the implementation of a curriculum module that allowed them to explore the relationships between transformational geometry and linear algebra. The majority of the students were middle and secondary mathematics education majors enrolled in a one-semester geometry course that is…

Colgan, Lynda E. C. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2004
This article describes the integration of transformational geometry, mathematics, history, art, and cultural studies in a middle-grades mathematics classroom. Its intent is to illustrate how providing students with real-world experiences allows them to see and model mathematics as an integrated whole and make both thoughtful connections between…
