This study examined whether learning with heuristic worked examples can improve students' competency in solving reality-based tasks in mathematics (mathematical modeling competency). We randomly assigned 134 students in Grade 5 and 180 students in Grade 7 to one of three conditions: control condition (students worked on reality-based tasks),…

Mathematical modeling has been positioned at the forefront of many educational levels globally because modeling reinforces purposeful problem-solving skills, connects mathematics to the real-world, and makes mathematics more meaningful and relevant. This article investigated K-12 practicing teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical…

Kalayci, Özlem; Gün, Özge – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
There exist many studies on modeling competencies and their promotion; however, there is a need to investigate what modeling competencies are and how they vary in lower and higher-achieving groups of students in mathematics within the current modeling literature domain. This study examined how mathematical modeling competencies were displayed in…

Haara, Frode Olav – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This article reports on how a pedagogical entrepreneurship approach combined with fundamental elements of mathematical modelling may be used to strengthen students' development of mathematical literacy in upper primary school. This is done first through a review of the relationship between pedagogical entrepreneurship in mathematics, mathematical…

Asempapa, Reuben S.; Sastry, Aishwarya M. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
Mathematical modeling has been recognized and highlighted in most standards and reports as an important concept to the teaching and learning of mathematics. The study investigated 208 PK-8 preservice teachers' (PSTs') familiarity and experiences with mathematical modeling. The study adopted a survey-design perspective to collect data from 10…

Asempapa, Reuben S. – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
This study addresses a gap in the literature on mathematical modeling education by developing the mathematical modeling knowledge scale (MMKS). The MMKS is a quantitative tool created to assess teachers' knowledge of the nature of mathematical modeling. Quantitative instruments to measure modeling knowledge is scare in the literature partially due…

Turner, Erin E.; Aguirre, Julia; McDuffie, Amy Roth; Foote, Mary Q. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Mathematical modeling is a high-leverage topic, critical STEM education and civic engagement. This study investigates culturally responsive, school and community-based approaches that support mathematical modeling with elementary students. Specifically, we analyzed two modeling lessons in one fifth grade classroom, with a focus on how students…

Tambunan, Hardi – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2016
The quality mapping of educational unit program is important issue in education in Indonesia today in an effort to improve the quality of education. The objective of this study is to make a mathematical model to find out the map of students' capability in mathematics. It has been made a mathematical model to be used in the mapping of students'…

Dayal, Hem; Chandra, Subhas – Waikato Journal of Education, 2016
Word problems have been well recognised for their pedagogical value in mathematics teaching and learning. The authors of this paper examined Fijian primary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge by analysing 34 teachers response to three word problems. The teachers were enrolled in a primary mathematics teaching methods course at a Fijian…

Wilkerson, Trena L.; Cooper, Susan; Gupta, Dittika; Montgomery, Mark; Mechell, Sara; Arterbury, Kristin; Moore, Sherrie; Baker, Betty Ruth; Sharp, Pat T. – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2015
This study examines the effect varying models have on student understanding of fractions. The study addressed the question of what students know and understand about fractional concepts through the use of discrete and continuous models. A sample of 54 students in kindergarten and 3rd grade were given an interview pretest, participated in…

Pape, Stephen J.; Prosser, Sherri K.; Griffin, Cynthia C.; Dana, Nancy Fichtman; Algina, James; Bae, Jungah – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2015
This study sought to identify components of an asynchronous online teacher professional development program, "Prime Online," that potentially affected participants' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). Twenty-three third- through fifth-grade general education and special education teachers completed a yearlong online teacher…

Dewolf, Tinne; Van Dooren, Wim; Verschaffel, Lieven – Learning and Instruction, 2011
We confronted 151, 5th and 6th elementary grade pupils with a quantitative problem in a mathematics or religion class, to examine the influence of the context on pupils' understanding and solution of such problems inside and outside the mathematics class. Pupils were first asked to solve a problem about fair sharing either during a mathematics or…

Holm, Jennifer, Ed.; Mathieu-Soucy, Sarah, Ed. – Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, 2019
In June 2018 the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group/Groupe Canadien d'étude en didactique des mathématiques (CMESG/GCEDM) held its 42nd meeting in the idyllic setting of Squamish, British Columbia. This meeting marked the first time CMESG/GCEDM had been in British Columbia since 2010 and the first time it had been held at Quest University.…
