Xu, Binyan; Lu, Xiaoli; Yang, Xinrong; Bao, Jiansheng – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical modelling has been included in many mathematics curricula worldwide, and China's curricula are no exception. The development of modelling competencies has recently been listed among the Chinese mathematics curriculum's six key objectives. However, the manner in which nationwide learning and teaching of modelling should be conducted…

Krawitz, Janina; Chang, Yu-Ping; Yang, Kai-Lin; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
To solve mathematical modelling problems, students must translate real-world situations, which are typically presented in text form, into mathematical models. To complete the translation process, the problem-solver must first understand the real-world situation. Therefore, reading comprehension can be considered an essential part of solving…

Geiger, Vince; Galbraith, Peter; Niss, Mogens; Holland-Twining, Ben – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
Competency with mathematical modelling is increasingly important for career and informed and engaged participation in personal, civic and work life. In this paper we report on an aspect of a three-year longitudinal study that aimed to identify and describe enablers of mathematical modelling. Teacher interview data has been drawn upon to exemplify…

Segaran, Jeevalata Sathera; Eu, Leong Kwan – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
This study takes a closer look at Form Four students' initial mathematical modelling process when solving mathematical problems using GeoGebra. The modelling process was observed from cognitive perspective to learn the difficulties students faced during the process and the result would give ideas for intervention. Qualitative approach by using…

Elvira G. Rincon-Flores; Leticia Castano; Sadie Lissette Guerrero Solis; Omar Olmos Lopez; Carlos Felipe Rodríguez Hernández; Laura Angélica Castillo Lara; Laura Patricia Aldape Valdés – Smart Learning Environments, 2024
Much has been written about Adaptive Learning, but does its implementation alone guarantee success? We have found that integrating an Adaptive Learning Strategy with diverse didactic techniques gives better results. The objectives of this exploratory study were to know the impact of the Adaptive Learning Strategy on students' learning and…

Ekici, Celil; Plyley, Chris – PRIMUS, 2019
Following a modeling-first approach to differential equations, inquiry-based learning activities on modeling and controlling the growth of locally relevant species, such as lionfish or sea turtles, are developed by the authors. Emerging exemplary practices are presented, building towards a balanced teaching of differential equations involving…

Prediger, Susanne; Roesken-Winter, Bettina; Leuders, Timo – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2019
Given the challenges of scaling up content-related professional development (PD), the PD facilitators have gained increasing attention in PD research. In this mainly programmatic and structural article, we try to systematize existing research strategies which take into account the multifaceted and multi-level structure of PD research. We discuss…

Ärlebäck, Jonas Bergman; Albarracín, Lluís – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
This paper presents the results of a literature review focusing on the use and potential of Fermi problems (FPs) in the STEM disciplines. We identify different usages and roles given to FPs in each of the STEM disciplines and highlight their potential to promote modeling of real phenomena and situations as well as learning about the estimation of…

Hansen, Christian; Hansen, Casper; Alstrup, Stephen; Lioma, Christina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
In this paper we consider the problem of modelling when students end their session in an online mathematics educational system. Being able to model this accurately will help us optimize the way content is presented and consumed. This is done by modelling the probability of an action being the last in a session, which we denote as the…

Alexandria A. Viegut; Percival G. Matthews – Grantee Submission, 2023
Understanding fraction magnitudes is foundational for later math achievement. To represent a fraction "x/y," children are often taught to use "partitioning": break the whole into "y" parts, and shade in "x" parts. Past research has shown that partitioning on number lines supports children's fraction…

Alexandria A. Viegut; Percival G. Matthews – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Understanding fraction magnitudes is foundational for later math achievement. To represent a fraction x/y, children are often taught to use "partitioning": Break the whole into y parts and shade in x parts. Past research has shown that partitioning on number lines supports children's fraction magnitude knowledge more than partitioning on…

Harris, Frank – School Science Review, 2020
The year 2020 saw the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that not only had wide-reaching social and economic consequences but also put healthcare systems under stress. Strategies for coping with the virus depended heavily on the interpretation of data. This article uses information from a UK upper tier local authority to examine how closely the…

Durandt, Rina; Lautenbach, Geoffrey – Perspectives in Education, 2020
This article reports on third-year mathematics students' competency and sub-competency development through providing intentional support in the learning of mathematical modelling. Students often experience modelling as difficult, and obstructions in the modelling process can lead to a dead end. Literature reports confirm that the modelling task is…

Bloom, Mark A.; Fuentes, Sarah Quebec – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2020
While most of the outcomes of the current COVID-19 pandemic are not good, occasionally one can identify a positive outcome from even the worst situations. The Coronavirus outbreak has provided a special opportunity to get a pulse on how well the society understands science and mathematics processes. Social media amplifies the voice of citizens…

Galbraith, Peter – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
Recently a teacher friend enquired about the S-I-R equations for disease spread, and what follows was stimulated by that exchange. COVID-19 provides an opportunity to put mathematical flesh on verbal bones such as "self-isolation", "lockdown", "herd immunity", "flattening the curve", "closed…
