Supply, Anne-Sophie; Wijns, Nore; Van Dooren, Wim; Onghena, Patrick – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
The many studies with coin-tossing tasks in literature show that the concept of randomness is challenging for adults as well as children. Systematic errors observed in coin-tossing tasks are often related to the representativeness heuristic, which refers to a mental shortcut that is used to judge randomness by evaluating how well a set of random…

Solar, Horacio; Ortiz, Andrés; Arriagada, Victoria; Deulofeu, Jordi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Given the importance of modelling in mathematics classrooms, and despite the extensive body of research on teacher support for promoting the mathematical modelling cycle in the classroom, authors have overlooked how teacher support for argumentation can contribute to this cycle. This study is aimed at characterizing teacher support for…
