Direct linkChamberlain, John Martyn – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2017
Against the backdrop of contemporary debates surrounding the public role of criminology, this article argues that a key barrier to ensuring that the next generation of criminologists is equipped with the skills necessary to engage in critical forms of citizenship, is the quantitative "skills gap" that undergraduate students possess as a…

Watanabe, Tad – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) (CCSSI 2010) identifies the strategic use of appropriate tools as one of the mathematical practices and emphasizes the use of pictures and diagrams as reasoning tools. Starting with the early elementary grades, CCSSM discusses students' solving of problems "by drawing." In later…

Bruun, Faye; Diaz, Joan M.; Dykes, Valerie J. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2015
Students may excel in computation, but their ability to apply their skills will suffer if they do not understand the math vocabulary used in instructions and story problems. This action research project examines two methods for strengthening students' ability to communicate mathematically: (1) Journal writing and peer discussion; and (2) The…

Dirksen, Jennifer; Dirksen, Nathaniel; Cheng, Ivan – Mathematics Teacher, 2010
One of the most difficult topics to teach in geometry is the concept of proof. This article describes ProofBlocks as an innovative approach to helping students develop proficiency in proof. ProofBlocks is an intuitive approach to teaching proof that makes proof accessible to students without sacrificing the rigor of traditional approaches. When…

Kohl, Patrick B.; Finkelstein, Noah D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2005
Student success in solving physics problems is related to the representational format of the problem. We study student representational competence in two large-lecture algebra-based introductory university physics courses with approximately 600 participants total. We examined student performance on homework problems given in four different…

One reason students give for attending a community college is that the mathematics requirements appear to be less rigorous. Many of the author's students have told her that they have chosen to seek an associate's degree first because they do not feel confident that they could successfully complete the mathematics requirement at a four-year…

Peer reviewedChartres, Mike – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 1996
Hypothesizes that exploring the mathematical ideas behind mathematical terms enables children to gain insight into the structure of a number system and provides a basis for powerful playing with this structure. Describes visualizing mathematical ideas for exploring aspects of mathematics. Offers rectangular numbers to link and explore structures…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Zazkis, Rina; Liljedahl, Peter – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
Recent research demonstrates that many issues related to the structure of natural numbers and the relationship among numbers are not well grasped by students. In this article, we describe a computer-based learning environment called "Number Worlds" that was designed to support the exploration of elementary number theory concepts by…
