Rodney Nillsen – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Equal representation as a social issue is about the participation of one social group, in a particular context, in proportion to the numbers in the group within the total population. The proportion of women in parliament, and of the participation rate of students of lower socioeconomic status in higher education, are examples. The aims of this…

Martin, Kristi; Hunt, Jessica H. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
One challenge facing the fields of mathematics education and special education is how to design instruction on fraction concepts that can meet the needs of diverse learners. An innovation that shows promise is to base instructional design upon well-established trajectories of students' fraction learning. However, little research has been done to…

Ben Clarke; Nancy J. Nelson; Leanne Ketterlin Geller; Derek Kosty; Keith Smolkowski; Taylor Lesner; David Furjanic; Hank Fien – Grantee Submission, 2022
This pilot study examined the promise of a Tier 2 sixth grade intervention program for students at-risk for difficulties in mathematics. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. The final sample included 112 students in treatment (Promoting Algebra Readiness) and 86 students in control (standard district practice) conditions. The Promoting…

Güveli, Ebru; Bulut, Demet Baran; Güveli, Hasan – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2021
Fraction is one of the important mathematics topics, and it has been determined that students at every grade have misconceptions about fractions. Regarding the fact that technology has been developing rapidly, it is actively used in educational institutions. It has a great number of benefits. It has become inevitable to associate conceptual change…

Ahrendt, Susan; Monson, Debra; Cramer, Kathleen – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
In grade 3, students are expected to be able to represent a fraction on a number line by first identifying the interval from 0 to 1 as the unit and by partitioning the unit as needed on the basis of the denominator. This task extends these grade 3 fraction goals stated in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (NGA Center and CCSSO 2010)…

Hackenberg, Amy J.; Creager, Mark; Eker, Ayfer – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Three iterative, 18-episode design experiments were conducted after school with groups of 6-9 middle school students to understand how to differentiate mathematics instruction. Prior research on differentiating instruction (DI) and hypothetical learning trajectories guided the instruction. As the experiments proceeded, this definition of DI…

Losinski, Mickey; Ennis, Robin Parks; Shaw, Ashley; Gage, Nicholas A. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
Students with mathematics difficulties often struggle with conceptual and procedural understanding of fractions. Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is an evidence-based framework for teaching a variety of academic skills, including mathematics. The purpose of this study was to extend preliminary work using "SRSD Fractions" to…

Van Hoof, Jo; Engelen, Anne-Sophie; Van Dooren, Wim – Educational Psychology, 2021
Although a good rational number understanding is of crucial importance for learners' general maths achievement, many learners have misconceptions about fractions. An often described misconception is that a fraction's numerical magnitude increases when its denominator, numerator, or both increase. The present intervention study investigated how…

Zhang, Qiao; Maclellan, Christopher J. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to keep track of students' learning process. While knowledge tracing models have been extensively studied in offline settings, very little work has explored their use in online settings. This is primarily because conducting experiments to evaluate and select knowledge…

Kathryn Mary Rich – ProQuest LLC, 2021
A recent review of research on virtual manipulatives (VMs), defined as technology-based interactive representations of mathematical ideas (Moyer-Packenham, & Bolyard, 2016), suggests strengths relative to other instructional tools in supporting student learning of mathematics (Moyer-Packenham & Westenskow, 2013). Researchers have…

Cody Harrington – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation case study examines how teachers' levels of units coordination afford their ability to reason multiplicatively and fractionally, as well as use their mathematics knowledge for teaching to analyze student multiplicative and fractional reasoning, when a two-year intervention is put into place to evoke new mathematical reasoning.…

Silva, Juanita M.; Hunt, Jessica H.; Welch-Ptak, Jasmine – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
We present the evolving fraction conceptions of two elementary school children with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). We use qualitative analyses to capture the mathematical knowledge and experiences of each child and show how teaching was used to support advancement of their fractional reasoning. Results illustrate two viable pathways of…
