Direct linkAbrams, William – PRIMUS, 2023
This paper describes a course designed to introduce students to mathematical thinking and a variety of lower level mathematics topics using baseball while satisfying the goals of quantitative reasoning. We give suggestions for sources, topics, techniques, and examples so any mathematics teacher can design such a course to fit their needs. The…

Adiredja, Aditya P. – PRIMUS, 2021
The complexity in understanding the [epsilon-delta] definition has motivated research into the teaching and learning of the topic. In this paper I share my design of an instructional analogy called the Pancake Story and four different questions to explore the logical relationship between [epsilon] and [delta] that structures the definition. I…

In the Swedish Prison Education Program only two out of ten reach a passing grade in their mathematics courses. Large variation in prior knowledge makes it difficult to meet the students at their level. This paper reports on a project aiming to enhance students' possibilities to access mathematics through individualization. Research findings on…

Ayalon, Michal; Wilkie, Karina – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Researching students' responses to tasks at different year levels and in varied curriculum contexts can provide insights that relate their understandings to prior learning experiences and teaching approaches. In this article, we discuss evidence of students from three curriculum contexts (English, Australian, and Israeli) (n = 350) ways of…

Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Connor, Jeff – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This qualitative study examines what mathematics teacher candidates with STEM backgrounds think about their future work as mathematics teachers. The content preparation for a STEM career is not identical with that taken by traditional teacher candidates and may not develop the pedagogical content knowledge necessary for candidates to connect their…

Seto, Cynthia; Magdalene, Thomas Mary; Ng Kit Ee, Dawn; Chan Chun Ming, Eric; Widjaja, Wanty – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
Limited Singapore research indicated a lack of exposure of modelling tasks at primary levels. Teacher reflection is used as a tool in design research cycles exploring the potentials of modelling tasks in a Singapore primary five classroom. Findings reveal that the teacher identified three potentials of a modelling task on children's…
