Monika Post; Susanne Prediger – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Multiple representations can enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts and complex information but can also pose well-documented challenges for students. Whereas instructional designs have been optimized to support students' "learning" with multiple representations, little is known about supportive "teaching"…

Lisa J. Elliott; Joan Middendorf – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Teaching and learning undergraduate statistics has been a most challenging task for undergraduate psychology majors (Salkind, 2017). A seasoned statistics instructor consulted with a seasoned instructional designer on a method to improve a particularly demanding course using a performance improvement approach to address learning difficulties she…

Núria Planas; José M. Alfonso; Alberto Arnal-Bailera; Verónica Martín-Molina – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Research shows the salient place of mathematical teaching talk, including the mathematical-linguistic practices of naming and explaining, in the enactment of students' mathematical talk and learning with understanding in the classroom. Our study was developed to examine the noticing of two groups of secondary-school mathematics teachers in one-day…

Molitoris-Miller, Susanna; Hillen, Amy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
This article presents ways to explore mathematical concepts using Catan, a popular board game. After a brief overview of game play, we explore considerations with many potential entry points for mathematical modeling, such as which resource is the best, which resources will be rare or plentiful, where to build, and risk assessment.

González, Beatriz Adriana Rodríguez; Ibarra, Gabriela Noemí Figueroa; Barbosa, Omar Guirette; Muñoz, Héctor Antonio Durán – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
There is a growing interest in conducting research in educational mathematics in the area of the didactics of probability, where the main difficulties that students have in understanding the concepts related to statistical inference have been revealed. For this research, the concept of the empirical rule and a practical application created by…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

Belova, Olga; Polyakova, Katerina – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
The goal of the paper is to pay attention to some important techniques and approaches including adequate designations as a tool for unambiguous understanding and a key to success in solving problems, vivid visual images as a mnemonic techniques, and special formulas as a universal tool for solving typical problems, when teaching medical students…

Armiati; Fauzan, Ahmad; Harisman, Yulyanti; Sya'bani, Febrina – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022
This study examines the development of learning designs based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on the probability topic at the eighth-grade junior high school level. Probability abounds in everyday life, and the RME approach is believed to develop students' mathematical communication skills. This learning design development used the Plomp…

Kohlhoff, Pauline – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
The formula for the variance of a binomial distribution is both concise and elegant. However, it is often taught without reference to the underlying reasoning. That being the case, is it important, or useful, to understand why this formula can be used to calculate the requisite result? In this article, the author demonstrates a teaching sequence…

Essien, Anthony A. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
The teaching of mathematics is mostly done with tasks that learners and teachers do or solve, in and outside of class. These tasks, which are used to illustrate concepts in mathematics, are referred to in this paper as examples in mathematics. Examples that teachers choose and use are fundamental to what mathematics is taught and learned, and what…

Hauben, Manfred – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2019
Manfred Hauben proposes an approach to teaching non-transitive relationships between 'paradoxical' dice using simple statistical graphics. This method usefully supplements traditional approaches of conditional probability calculations and trees, and students are thereby better able to see what is going on and the mechanism of these relationships.

Yimam, Mekonnen; Dagnew Kelkay, Asrat – Cogent Education, 2022
This study attempted to develop a literature-informed discourse-based instructional approach and evaluated its effects on eleventh-grade students' conceptual and procedural understandings in probability and statistics. To this end, a quasi-experimental study that involved two control groups and one experimental group was used. One-way analysis of…

Sullivan, Patrick – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Probabilistic reasoning underpins much of middle school students' future work in data analysis and inferential statistics. Unfortunately for many middle school students, probabilistic reasoning is not intuitive. One specific area in which students seem to struggle is determining the probability of compound events (Moritz and Watson 2000). Research…

Passaretti, Davide; Vistocco, Domenico – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2017
In an informal study, two versions of a story involving probability are introduced to undergraduates. The findings reveal that students have troubles detecting equal probabilities in a sampling scheme without replacement in which no information on earlier draws is available.

Zhang, Xuemao; Maas, Zoe – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The use of computer simulations in the teaching of introductory statistics can help undergraduate students understand difficult or abstract statistics concepts. The free software environment R is a good candidate for computer simulations since it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. In this paper, we illustrate…
