Tangible Connections within the Mathematical Horizon: Exploring the Dihedral Calculator
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mamolo, Ami; Glynn-Adey, Parker – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
We report on a group theory activity in which learners explored dihedral symmetries through a tangible geometric model. This approach has historical roots in the work of Felix Klein's Erlangen Program and his "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint." We situate our study with respect to this history as well as current…

Assessed Numeracy Skills and Skill Use of Adults with Learning Disabilities in PIAAC
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Patterson, Margaret Becker – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Adults with learning disabilities (LD) face educational and employment challenges and may also have other disabilities and health conditions. Little is known about these adults' numeracy skills and how they use numeracy at work or home. The article's objective was to investigate numeracy skills and skill use for U.S. adults with LD. The author…
