Lockwood, Elise; Ellis, Amy B. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
In recent decades, there has been considerable research that explores the teaching and learning of combinatorics. Such work has highlighted the fact that understanding and justifying combinatorial formulas can be challenging for students, and there is a need to identify ways to support students' combinatorial reasoning. In this paper, we…

Alison G. Lynch; Elise Lockwood; Amy B. Ellis – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
In this paper, we explore the role that examples play as mathematicians formulate conjectures, and we describe and exemplify one particular example-related activity that we observed in interviews with thirteen mathematicians. During our interviews, mathematicians productively used examples as they formulated conjectures, particularly by creating…

Mónica Arnal-Palacián; Francisco J. Claros-Mellado; María T. Sánchez-Compaña – Pythagoras, 2024
The purpose of this article is to conduct a mathematical and phenomenological comparison of three concepts: (1) the finite limit of a function at a point, (2) the finite limit of a sequence, and (3) the infinite limit of a sequence. Additionally, we aim to analyse the presence of these concepts in Spanish textbooks. The methodology employed is…

Ratni Purwasih; Turmudi; Jarnawi Afgani Dahlan – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2024
Some countries, including Indonesia, have a framework for understanding how students receive and process math concepts as new knowledge through learning styles. Learning style, particularly Kolb's model, is one of the learning styles that contribute to students' success in learning. Experts have explored the characteristics of Kolb's learning…

Margaret Walton; Janet Walkoe – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Seeds of Algebraic Thinking comes from the Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) perspective of learning. KiP is a systems approach to learning that stems from the constructivist idea that people learn by building on prior knowledge. As people experience the world, they acquire small, sub-conceptual knowledge elements. When people engage in a particular…
