Jessica Sickler; Michelle Lentzner; Lynn T. Goldsmith; Lauren Brase; Randall Kochevar – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The need for data literacy is an increasingly pressing priority in society, but most of the work in data-centred education has focused on developing skills at the middle school, secondary, and post-secondary levels, with little attention on the potential for engaging elementary-aged students in reasoning with and about data. This paper reports…

Huffling, Lacey; Scott, Heather; Weeks, Melissa; Johnson, Hayward; Gantt, Britt; Collins, Regina – Science Teacher, 2021
The lesson set in this article describes an introductory learning experience using wildlife camera-based citizen science projects hosted on Zooniverse (http://www.zooniverse.org). Wildlife camera projects were chosen due to the charisma of the study organisms, student engagement while looking at images, ease of access to projects, ease of teaching…

Palha, Sonia; Spandaw, Jeroen – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Learning mathematical thinking and reasoning is a main goal in mathematical education. Instructional tasks have an important role in fostering this learning. We introduce a learning sequence to approach the topic of integrals in secondary education to support students mathematical reasoning while participating in collaborative dialogue about the…

Ünver, Semiha Kula; Güzel, Esra Bukova – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
The purpose of this case study was to examine prospective mathematics teachers' lessons in the context of choice and use of representations while teaching limit. The participants were four senior prospective mathematics teachers. The data were obtained from the participants' lessons plans, the video recordings of their lessons, and the…

Fonger, Nicole L.; Davis, Jon D.; Rohwer, Mary Lou – School Science and Mathematics, 2018
This research addresses the issue of how to support students' representational fluency--the ability to create, move within, translate across, and derive meaning from external representations of mathematical ideas. The context of solving linear equations in a combined computer algebra system (CAS) and paper-and-pencil classroom environment is…

Whitney, Stephanie R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2014
Stephanie Whitney teaches in the department of teacher education at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Her interest is in how students reason and make sense of mathematics, and how teachers can promote this behavior. Students should engage in reasoning and sense making daily in their mathematics classes. It is often through students'…

LaDue, Nicole D.; Libarkin, Julie C.; Thomas, Stephen R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
The pervasive use of visual representations in textbooks, curricula, and assessments underscores their importance in K-12 science education. For example, visual representations figure prominently in the recent publication of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States in Next generation science standards: for states, by states.…

Swidan, Osama; Yerushalmy, Michal – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2016
In light of the recent growing interest in conceptual learning and teaching of calculus, and especially with the focus on using technological environments, our study was designed to explore the learning processes and the role played by multiple-linked representations and by interactive technological environment in objectifying the accumulation…

Edwards, Thomas G.; Özgün-Koca, S. Asli; Chelst, Kenneth R. – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Amazon, Walmart, and other large-scale retailers owe their success partly to efficient inventory management. For such firms, holding too little inventory risks losing sales, whereas holding idle inventory wastes money. Therefore profits hinge on the inventory level chosen. In this activity, students investigate a simplified inventory-control…

Durmaz, Hüsnüye – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2016
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an instructional intervention on enhancement the pre-service science teachers' (PSTs) science process skills (SPSs) and to identify problems in using SPSs through Laboratory Applications in Science Education-I course (LASE-I). One group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was employed. An…

Roberts, Kathryn L.; Norman, Rebecca R.; Duke, Nell K.; Morsink, Paul; Martin, Nicole M.; Knight, Jennifer A. – Reading Teacher, 2013
The Common Core State Standards place unprecedented emphasis on visual text--appropriately so, as visual components are increasingly ubiquitous in many kinds of text. This shift in emphasis requires substantial changes in our teaching. Concepts of print need to be expanded to include concepts of graphics, and specific graphical devices, such as…

Kirwan, J. Vince; Tobias, Jennifer M. – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
To understand multiple representations in algebra, students must be able to describe relationships through a variety of formats, such as graphs, tables, pictures, and equations. NCTM indicates that varied representations are "essential elements in supporting students' understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships" (NCTM…

Fonger, Nicole L. – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
How can the key concept of equivalent expressions be addressed so that students strengthen their representational fluency with symbols, graphs, and numbers? How can research inform the synergistic use of both paper-and-pencil analysis and computer algebra systems (CAS) in a classroom learning environment? These and other related questions have…

Acevedo Nistal, A.; Van Dooren, W.; Verschaffel, L. – Educational Psychology, 2014
This study evaluates the effects of an intervention aimed at improving representational flexibility in linear-function problems. Forty-nine students aged 13-16 participated in the study. A pretest-intervention-posttest design with an experimental and control group was used. At pretest, both groups solved a choice test, where they could freely…
