Craig J. Cullen; Lawrence Ssebaggala; Amanda L. Cullen – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
In this article, the authors share their favorite "Construct It!" activity, which focuses on rate of change and functions. The initial approach to instruction was procedural in nature and focused on making use of formulas. Specifically, after modeling how to find the slope of the line given two points and use it to solve for the…

Webel, Corey; Krupa, Erin E.; McManus, Jason – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2017
This study explores three aspects of a math emporium (ME), a model for offering introductory level college mathematics courses through the use of software and computer laboratories. Previous research shows that math emporia are generally effective in terms of improving final exam scores and passing rates. However, most research on math emporia…

Gasco, Javier; Villarroel, Jose Domingo; Zuazagoitia, Dani – International Education Studies, 2014
The teaching and learning of mathematics cannot be understood without considering the resolution of word problems. These kinds of problems not only connect mathematical concepts with language (and therefore with reality) but also promote the learning related to other scientific areas. In primary school, problems are solved by using basic…
