Markopoulos, Christos; Bruck, Patrick; Petta, Koralia – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2022
This paper examines Grade 6 students' thinking about geometrical solids and their properties in the context of a computer-based task. The main focus is to explore how students interact with a number of tasks based on the dynamic transformation of computer-based representations of 3D solids in a geometry classroom with the aid of a Dynamic…

Husband, Marc; Nikfarjam, Parinaz – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2022
This study explores peer feedback in a combined fifth and sixth-grade classroom. Drawing on Hattie and Timperley's (2007) model for feedback, we analyzed 334 peer feedback comments gathered during six mathematics lessons. Our analysis revealed evidence of peer feedback being beneficial to the students who provide it as well as those who receive…

Wu, Hung-Hsi – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2020
The non-learning of school mathematics is now almost universally taken for granted, but this does not have to happen. This article takes a critical look at the root of this non-learning by pointing to the flagrant defects in the kind of mathematics--to be called TSM--that is predominant in almost all the school textbooks. By analyzing how the long…

Zosh, Jennifer Mary; Hassinger-Das, Brenna; Toub, Tamara Spiewak; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Golinkof, Roberta – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2016
International rankings show children in the United States perform well below average in mathematics. There are also large mathematics achievement gaps between children of lower- and higher-socioeconomic status. As today's teachers face these challenges, they are also faced with the pressures of sweeping educational reforms that arrived with the…

Greenes, Carole – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2014
Tasks to Advance the Learning of Mathematics (TALMs) were developed to stimulate grades 5-8 students' curiosity about complex mathematical relationships, inspire them to reason abstractly and quantitatively, encourage them to consider and create alternative solution approaches, develop their skills to persuade others about the viability of one…

Tengah, Khairul A. – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2011
As part of promoting and improving pattern discovery skills among school children, a Sudoku puzzle can be used as example of a problem solving task. A simplified version of the puzzle will be used first to explain the aim and reinforce the rules of solving the puzzle. Three strategies--"Strategy of Obvious Missing Number, Strategy of…
