Folger, Timothy D.; Stewart, Maria; Bostic, Jonathan; May, Toni A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
Problem solving is a central focus of mathematics teaching and learning. If teachers are expected to support students' problem-solving development, then it reasons that teachers should also be able to solve problems aligned to grade level content standards. The purpose of this validation study is twofold: (1) to present evidence supporting the use…

Turner, Erin E.; Chen, Mei-Kuang; Roth McDuffie, Amy; Smith, James E.; Aguirre, Julia; Foote, Mary Q.; Bennett, Amy Been – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
While research suggests that mathematical modeling is accessible to elementary grade students, questions remain about how to assess modeling competency. Our research addresses this need through the systemic design and empirical testing of a Mathematical Modeling Student Assessment (MMSA) for elementary grades 3 through 5. Research questions focus…
