Adaptive expertise is a highly sought after, but difficult to achieve, outcome of mathematics education. Many teaching methods appear to support the development of adaptive expertise only in a small proportion of students. Game-based learning environments may be useful for supporting adaptive expertise. Therefore, we carried out a…

Newman, Sharlene D.; Loughery, Erin; Ecklund, Ambur; Smothers, Marriah; Ongeri, Jefney – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Previous studies have found that block play results in better spatial ability which may lead to greater mathematical skills. The current study examined a specific type of block play, structured block play in which a copy of a block configuration is constructed. Structured block play is a difficult cognitive task that requires an understanding of…

Bråting, Kajsa; Kilhamn, Cecilia – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
This article investigates how the recent implementation of programming in school mathematics interacts with algebraic thinking and learning. Based on Duval's theory of semiotic representations, we analyze in what ways syntax and semantics of programming languages are aligned with or divert from corresponding algebraic symbolism. Three examples of…
