Brand, Sarah; Jung, Hyunyi; Dorlack, Ashley; Gailliot, Samuel – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Most children, when presented with the option between two drink items, will choose the one with "more." But what exactly do children consider when they recognize one object as having more than another? Is it the perceived surface area or volume of an object? Depending on children's cognitive development, the aspect of measurement on…

Doruk, Bekir Kursat – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2012
Values education is crucial since it is one of the factors to reach success in education in broader sense and in mathematics education in particular sense. It is also important for educating next generations of societies. However, previous research showed that expected importance for values education was not given in Mathematics courses. In a few…

Moore, Tamara J.; Doerr, Helen M.; Glancy, Aran W.; Ntow, Forster D. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Getting students to think deeply about mathematical concepts is not an easy job, which is why we often use problem-solving tasks to engage students in higher-level mathematical thinking. Mathematical modeling, one of the mathematical practices found in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), is a type of problem solving that can…

Irakleous, Panayiota; Christou, Constantinos; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
The present study had the purpose of investigating empirically the structure and relationships among mathematical imagination, mathematical knowledge and mathematical mindset. The three factors are constituent parts of the Innovation Engine model by Seelig (inGenius: A Crash course on creativity, HarperOne-2012) and can influence creative…

Kobiela, Marta; Lehrer, Richard – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2015
We examined the codevelopment of mathematical concepts and the mathematical practice of defining within a sixth-grade class investigating space and geometry. Drawing upon existing literature, we present a framework for describing forms of participation in defining, what we term aspects of definitional practice. Analysis of classroom interactions…

English, Lyn D. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
This paper examines 6th grade children's local conceptual development and mathematization processes as they worked a comprehensive mathematical modeling problem (creating a consumer guide for deciding the best snack chip) over several class periods. The children and their teachers were participating in a 3-year longitudinal teaching experiment in…

Shin, Mikyung; Bryant, Diane Pedrotty – Remedial and Special Education, 2015
This study synthesized intervention studies focusing on instruction to improve fraction skills. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria: being published in English-language peer-reviewed journals or dissertations between 1975 and 2014, and targeting 3rd- through 12th-grade students struggling to learn mathematics. From the "Common Core…

Dvir, Michal; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Growing scholarship on the pedagogical applications of statistical modeling is currently taking place to create adaptations of this practice to introduce novices to statistics. These are intended to promote novices' reasoning, and are typically void of formal mathematical procedures and calculations. In this article, we define the potential…

Ellis, Amy B.; Horne, Dru; Bloodworth, Anna; Nielsen, Annelise; Ely, Robert – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Interest-driven activities, such as mathematical play, can support student agency, motivation, and engagement, and can foster dispositions that reflect authentic disciplinary engagement. However, the bulk of research on mathematical play investigates the mathematics that emerges in young children's natural play or in informal spaces such as video…

Erbilgin, Evrim; Gningue, Serigne M. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Representations are key to mathematical activities and meaning-making processes as they are part of modeling, connecting, communicating, and understanding mathematical ideas and concepts. The current study sought to examine a group of novice algebra learners' interactions with different representations from an onto-semiotic approach. A case study…
