Palmér, Hanna; van Bommel, Jorryt – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
This paper focuses on problem solving and problem posing in mathematics education with 6-year-olds. After working on a problem-solving activity, the young students were asked to pose a "similar" task to a friend. This article explores how the students interpret the notion of "similar." To be able to pose a problem-solving task…

Pagliaro, Claudia M.; Kritzer, Karen L. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2013
Over decades and across grade levels, deaf/hard-of-hearing (d/hh) student performance in mathematics has shown a gap in achievement. It is unclear, however, exactly when this gap begins to emerge and in what areas. This study describes preschool d/hh children's knowledge of early mathematics concepts. Both standardized and nonstandardized measures…
