Pre-Service Teachers' Experiences within Modelling Scenarios Enriched by Digital Technologies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Villarreal, Mónica E.; Esteley, Cristina B.; Smith, Silvina – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This paper presents issues related to the use of technology by secondary school pre-service mathematics teachers engaged in open mathematical modelling projects. Pre-service teachers developed these projects within a regular mathematics education course during the teacher education program at the university concerned. This environment, called a…

Bush, Sarah B.; Gibbons, Katie; Karp, Karen S.; Dillon, Fred – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
The phenomenon of outbreaks of dangerous diseases is both intriguing to students and of mathematical significance, which is exactly why the authors engaged eighth graders in an introductory activity on the growth that occurs as an epidemic spreads. Various contexts can set the stage for such an exploration. Reading adolescent literature like…

Mathematics Teaching and Learning as a Mediating Process: The Case of Tape Diagrams
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Murata, Aki – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2008
This article examines how visual representations may mediate the teaching and learning of mathematics over time in Japanese elementary classrooms. Using the Zone of Proximal Development Mathematical Learning Model (Murata & Fuson, 2006; Fuson & Murata, 2007), the process of mediation is explicated. The tape diagram, a central visual…

Teaching Modeling with Partial Differential Equations: Several Successful Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Myers, Joseph; Trubatch, David; Winkel, Brian – PRIMUS, 2008
We discuss the introduction and teaching of partial differential equations (heat and wave equations) via modeling physical phenomena, using a new approach that encompasses constructing difference equations and implementing these in a spreadsheet, numerically solving the partial differential equations using the numerical differential equation…
