Liang Kong – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic, like past historical events such as the Vietnam War or 9/11, will shape a generation. Mathematics educators can seize this unprecedented opportunity to teach the principles of mathematical modeling in epidemiology. Compartmental epidemiological models, such as the SIR (susceptible-infected-recovered), are widely used by…

Kristyn Sartin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Integer operations are typically introduced in sixth grade, but they are a consistent area of struggle among these students. This struggle also inhibits their understanding of algebraic computations involving positive and negative terms. In this article, the author provides introductory tasks and models for adding and subtracting integers that can…

Mireia Brunet-Biarnes; Lluís Albarracín – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Previous research has highlighted the importance of social relationships in mathematical group work while working on modelling activities. This study analyses the interaction of sixth-grade students in Primary Education (11 to 12 years old) carrying out a modelling task in groups with a Fermi problem used as the modelling activity. The focus of…

Renata Passos Machado Vieira; Francisco Regis Vieira Alves; Paula Maria Machado Cruz Catarino – Pedagogical Research, 2024
Considering the content of history of mathematics textbooks, it's evident that their emphasis is primarily on the illustrative aspects of recurring numerical sequences, with a particular focus on the Fibonacci sequence. Unfortunately, this limited approach results in the neglect of other sequences akin to the Fibonacci numbers, thus rendering the…

Berta Barquero; Irene Ferrando – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This paper focuses on in-service teacher education as a crucial agent in driving educational paradigm shifts for the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. Our paper presents empirical research based on two case studies, examining training courses for in-service secondary school mathematics teachers. The first course integrates different…

Takashi Kawakami; Akihiko Saeki – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
This study elaborates on the pivotal roles of mathematical and statistical models in data-driven predictions in an integrated STEM context using the case of Year 4 students: (?) "a descriptive means" to describe the features of trends and variability of data and (?) "an explanatory means" to explain causal relationships behind…

Holly Tate; Samantha Anstett; Beth Cooke; Merrie Joy Hrabak; Jennifer Suh – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
The mathematics of budgeting and space can lead to a justice-oriented experience for elementary students as they design a proposal for an inclusive playground. The authors' work focused on creating the space for elementary children to see the interconnectedness between mathematics and a community social injustice, lack of inclusive playground…

Fukushima, Takumi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This study aims to clarify the role of generating questions in mathematical modeling and construct principles for teaching and learning mathematical modeling with an emphasis on generating questions. To achieve this purpose, the role of generating questions was determined by solving a sprinkler problem and considering the investigation process.…

Wade, Carol H.; Wilkens, Christian; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M. – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2023
Although the secondary-tertiary transition has been investigated in mathematics education research with different focuses and theoretical approaches, it remains a major issue for students in the transition. With success in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) major at stake, we investigated a novel approach to support the…

Vorhölter, Katrin – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
There are several conceptualizations of modeling competencies, including among others on the one hand so-called sub-competencies, which are required to progress from one step of a modeling process to the next, and metacognitive individual and group strategies. However, the relationship between metacognitive strategies and modeling sub-competencies…

Martha Elena Aguiar Barrera; Humberto Gutierrez Pulido; Veronica Vargas Alejo – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
This research presents the results of the implementation of a model-eliciting activity called Brickyards, designed to promote the learning of the binomial distribution. The theoretical framework used was the Models and Modeling Perspective, and the participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a probability and statistics course of the…

Zolfaghari, Maryam – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this study was to understand children's operations on fragmenting schemes while they are engaged with three different visual models, including circle, rectangle, and length model. This study was a sequential explanatory mixed method, which included two phases that happened sequentially with the dominant use of the quantitative…

Peleckis, Kestutis; Peleckiene, Valentina; Peleckis, Kestutis; Leonaviciene, Edita – International Journal of Learning and Change, 2022
The extent of competition in the market affects the balance of bargaining power of market participants. When price discrimination is low, it increases consumer welfare - that is, if the price does not correspond to the evaluation of each product by the consumer, then discrimination allows for additional consumers to buy the product at a price,…

Cevikbas, Mustafa; Kaiser, Gabriele; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Mathematical modelling competencies have become a prominent construct in research on the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling and its applications in recent decades; however, current research is diverse, proposing different theoretical frameworks and a variety of research designs for the measurement and fostering of modelling…

Sourwine, Jasmine – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
The reality is that textbooks and state standards have more content than can reasonably be covered for proficiency in most classrooms. In years past, this typically meant cutting the last unit or two or moving along regardless of who was keeping up, in many cases resulting in cutting statistics from the curriculum. This article provides five…
