Sierpinska, Anna; Osana, Helena – Research in Mathematics Education, 2012
This paper presents some results of research aimed at contributing to the development of a professional knowledge base for teachers of elementary mathematics methods courses, called here "teacher educators." We propose that a useful unit of analysis for this knowledge could be the tasks in which teacher-educators engage pre-service…

Kieran, Carolyn; Guzman, Jose – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
We present in this paper five case studies of instrumental genesis of number-theoretic concepts and techniques involving multiples, divisors, and numerical decomposition. The pupils, who were 12 to 15 years old, used the multi-line screen display of the graphing calculator to explore numerical tasks related to the "Five steps to zero"…

Sinclair, Margaret – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
This paper discusses some of the results of a study carried out with two classes of grade 7 students (11-12 years old); the aim of the project was to design, develop, and test interactive geometry tasks for use in future research into how (or whether) interactive applets help students learn mathematics. The study tasks were developed around the…
