Martha Elena Aguiar Barrera; Humberto Gutierrez Pulido; Veronica Vargas Alejo – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
This research presents the results of the implementation of a model-eliciting activity called Brickyards, designed to promote the learning of the binomial distribution. The theoretical framework used was the Models and Modeling Perspective, and the participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a probability and statistics course of the…

Luis E. Montero-Moguel; Verónica Vargas-Alejo; Guadalupe Carmona; Dinorah Méndez Huerta – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This research contributes to the need to identify and expand learning environments that encourage undergraduate students to develop collaborative work skills and apply their classroom knowledge to solve real-world problems. Using qualitative methods, we examine the effects of the interaction between two teams of students when solving a…

Obaya Valdivia, Adolfo E.; Osornio, Carlos Montaño; Vargas-Rodríguez, Yolanda Marina – Online Submission, 2021
In the resolution of problems in chemical kinetics and catalysis the mathematical models relate the independent variable that is usually time, with the dependent variable which is normally the concentration of a reactant. They conform to linear models, whose parameters such as the ordering to origin and the slope are kinetic parameters, applying…

Flores, Ángel Homero; Gómez, Adriana; Chávez, Xochitl – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2015
Using Mathematical Modelling has become a useful tool in teaching-learning mathematics at all levels. This is so because mathematical objects are seen from their very applications, giving them meaning from the beginning. In this paper we present some details on the development of a teacher's training course called Modelling in the Teaching of…

Camacho-Machín, M.; Guerrero-Ortiz, C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
The aim of this paper is to present and discuss some of the evidence regarding the resources that students use when they establish relationships between a contextual situation and an ordinary differential equation (ODE). We present research results obtained from work by seven students in a graduate level course in mathematics education, where they…

Filloy, Eugenio; Rojano, Teresa; Solares, Armando – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
In this paper we analyze the meanings of the "equal" sign as generated by sense production of the methods of substitution and comparison for solving problems and systems of equations of two unknowns. These methods are usually introduced through an extension process of the syntax and meanings recently learned by students in order to solve…
