Ginsburg, Herbert P.; Lee, Young-Sun; Pappas, Sandra – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Formative assessment involves the gathering of information that can guide the teaching of individual or groups of children. This approach requires a sound understanding of children's thinking and learning, as well as an effective method for gaining the information. We propose that formative assessment should employ a version of clinical…

Powell, Sarah R.; Berry, Katherine A.; Barnes, Marcia A. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Students in the elementary grades often experience difficulty setting up and solving word problems. Using an equation to represent the structure of the problem serves as an effective tool for solving word problems, but students may require specific pre-algebraic reasoning instruction about the equal sign as a relational symbol to set up and solve…

Cooper, Jason – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Teachers and mathematicians hold different perspectives on the teaching and learning of whole number arithmetic. Though these perspectives may be complementary, sharing them across communities is challenging. An unusual professional development course for primary school teachers, initiated and taught by research mathematicians, provided a setting…

Houdement, Catherine; Tempier, Frédérick – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Numeration units (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) are an epistemological foundation for place value. Here, we assume that they are a didactic support in countries where spoken numbers are incongruent with written numbers. In France, teaching practices neglect the relations between units, and numeration units are typically used only to designate the…

Pfister, Mirjam; Moser Opitz, Elisabeth; Pauli, Christine – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
Scaffolding is an important tool for meeting the challenging needs of heterogeneous groups of students in inclusive classrooms. It is especially useful when supporting low achievers. A video study (funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, Project Nr. 134652) of 36 inclusive classes, (3rd grade, aged 9 years), was conducted to examine how…

Confrey, Jere; Maloney, Alan – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
Design research studies provide significant opportunities to study new innovations and approaches and how they affect the forms of learning in complex classroom ecologies. This paper reports on a two-week long design research study with twelve 2nd through 4th graders using curricular materials and a tablet-based diagnostic assessment system, both…

Kaur, Harpreet – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
This paper illustrates how young children (ages 7-8, grade 2/3) can use the potential of dynamic geometry environments to develop an understanding of, and reasoning about, the properties and behaviours of different triangles (scalene, isosceles, equilateral). It provides a detailed description of a geometry unit, during which children worked both…
