After teaching the concept of division with remainders for many years, Vanessa Battreal, Vanessa Brewster, and Juli Dixon noticed that interpreting remainders in contextualized problems is particularly challenging for elementary school students. To effectively interpret remainders, students must attend to problem context and consider carefully…

Brooks, Lisa A.; Dixon, Juli K. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
This article describes how one of the authors, second-grade teacher Lisa A. Brooks, challenged the raise-your-hand to-speak rule. Her desire to make this change was a result of experiences gained in a graduate class taught by the second author, Juli K. Dixon. Brooks had learned that it is possible to create a classroom community where students…

Dixon, Juli K. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2008
Elapsed-time problems are notoriously difficult for children. Instruction on techniques for teaching and learning elapsed time is not emphasized in current mathematics education literature. Nor is it addressed in "Curriculum Focal Points for Prekindergarten through Grade 8 Mathematics: A Quest for Coherence" (NCTM 2006). This absence of…

Bray, Wendy S.; Dixon, Juli K.; Martinez, Marina – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2006
Instructional settings are developed for conceptual understanding of measurement for the fourth-grade students to engage limited English proficient (LEP) students in effectively communicating about mathematics. When naturally enticed to compare solutions, the students were motivated to explain their mathematical thinking and understand the…
