Students with learning disabilities/difficulties in mathematics often apply ineffective procedures to solve word problems. Given that current mathematics curriculum standards emphasize conceptual understanding in problem solving as well as higher-order thinking and reasoning, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a model-based…

Pair, Jeffrey; Calva, Gabe – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
Mathematics majors, including future secondary teachers, should understand the work of pure mathematicians and the crucial role proof plays for the discipline of mathematics. Beyond the textbook proofs seen in most transition-to-proof courses, we conjectured that students might develop a deeper understanding of the discipline of mathematics and…

Sharpe, Sheree; Schliemann, Analúcia D. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We examine the impact of a teacher development program based on a functions approach to algebra on 7th grade students' understanding of equations. We focus on how students' score gains relate to their teachers' initial level of mathematics performance. Students from participating teachers' and their control peers completed a mathematics assessment…

Pelczer, Ildikó; Singer, Florence Mihaela; Voica, Cristian – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The paper presents the results of a study based on a training program for in-service mathematics teachers, targeting to improve their skills of problem posing and qualitative appreciation of problems. During this training program, we found an improvement in participating teachers' availability to discuss and analyse math problems, but also…
