Deyner Bolaño; Darwin Peña-González; Roberto Torres – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The purpose of this study was to analyze the activities in the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology among high school students when solving problems related to the field of plane figures, both in extra-mathematical and intra-mathematical environments. The research was qualitative and constituted a case study. The technique used to select the…

Irene Mauricio Cazorla; Miriam Cardoso Utsumi; Sandra Maria Magina – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This article aims to present a first approximation of the conceptual field of measures of central tendency (MCT), grounded in the theory of conceptual fields. We propose six situations according to type of variable, data presentation (raw or grouped) and amount of data. We revisit specific situations for the mean and exemplify several…

Casey, Stephanie A.; Harrison, Taylor; Hudson, Rick – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
This study focused on statistical investigation tasks designed by preservice teachers. Participants designed a statistical investigation task as a culminating summative assessment after completing modules on teaching and learning statistics. Our study examined the designed tasks to identify their strengths as well as areas of needed improvement.…

Ainley, Janet; Pratt, Dave – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
Previous research has demonstrated how young children can identify the signal in data. In this exploratory study we considered how they might also express meanings for noise when creating computational models using recent developments in software tools. We conducted extended clinical interviews with four groups of 11-year-olds and analysed the…

Rottmann, Thomas; Peter-Koop, Andrea – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This paper introduces a revised model for the development of basic computation skills. The model draws on four key phases, which have proven to be important for the development of calculation strategies and stresses the use of gestures and the verbalisation of concrete and mental images. This seems to be of crucial importance for children with…

Jones, Dustin L.; Brown, Megan; Dunkle, Alisha; Hixon, Lindsay; Yoder, Nicole; Silbernick, Zach – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
This study reports on the statistical content of five U.S. textbook series written for elementary students in grades 1-5. The researchers examined 17,688 pages and coded 7445 statistical tasks to determine (1) the distribution of statistical topics within textbooks, and (2) the relative emphasis on the phases of the statistical problem solving…

Subramaniam, Karthigeyan – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2014
Prospective secondary mathematics teachers' pedagogical knowledge for teaching the estimation of length measurements was investigated by examining their personal benchmarks for measurement estimation. Benchmarks for measurement estimation are the meaningful representations of units that serve to increase one's understanding of…

Ecker, Michael W. – College Mathematics Journal, 2011
Conventional application of these two calculus staples is stretched here, somewhat recreationally, but also to raise solid questions about the role of limit interchange in analysis--without, however, delving any deeper than first-year Calculus.

Frye, Douglas; Baroody, Arthur J.; Burchinal, Margaret; Carver, Sharon M.; Jordan, Nancy C.; McDowell, Judy – What Works Clearinghouse, 2013
The goal of this practice guide is to offer educators specific, evidence-based recommendations that address the challenge of teaching early math to children ages 3 to 6. The guide provides practical, clear information on critical topics related to teaching early math and is based on the best available evidence as judged by the authors. The guide…

Fennell, Francis – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2011
"Achieving Fluency" presents the understandings that all teachers need to play a role in the education of students who struggle: those with disabilities and those who simply lack essential foundational knowledge. This book serves teachers and supervisors by sharing increasingly intensive instructional interventions for struggling students on…

Pagliaro, Claudia M.; Ansell, Ellen – American Annals of the Deaf, 2011
The use of problem-solving strategies by 59 deaf and hard of hearing children, grades K-3, was investigated. The children were asked to solve 9 arithmetic story problems presented to them in American Sign Language. The researchers found that while the children used the same general types of strategies that are used by hearing children (i.e.,…

Smalley, Elizabeth – Geography Teacher, 2010
How can teachers encourage their geography students to make sense of big numbers? The key math skills geography students need to apply are ones they learned long ago in fifth grade: estimation and place value. However, in order to recognize the size of a city, or strength of a country's per capita income, or value of a birth rate, they need…

Nugent, Rebecca; Ayers, Elizabeth; Dean, Nema – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
In educational research, a fundamental goal is identifying which skills students have mastered, which skills they have not, and which skills they are in the process of mastering. As the number of examinees, items, and skills increases, the estimation of even simple cognitive diagnosis models becomes difficult. We adopt a faster, simpler approach:…

Asing-Cashman, Joyce G. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine the modeling of technology by mathematics professors in two universities in teaching required courses for secondary level pre-service mathematics teachers. Six professors participated in this case study. Their responses were documented in pre- and post-interviews and data were gathered from…
