How Many Angles Do You See? Prospective Teachers' Assimilatory Domains for Angularity
Hardison, Hamilton L.; Lee, Hwa Young; Guajardo, Lino; Bui, Mai T.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (44th, Nashville, TN, Nov 17-20, 2022)
Given the centrality of angle in mathematics curricula and scarcity of research in this area, we investigated 64 PTs' assimilatory domains of angularity by analyzing the angles they indicated when presented with four segments mutually sharing an endpoint. In both interview and written settings, we found PTs were more likely to recognize convex angles than reflex angles. Additionally, they were more likely to assimilate disjoint angles than angles formed via additive angular compositions. In particular, we found that PTs were unlikely to recognize full angles or additive compositions involving reflex angles. We consider future directions and implications.
