Braund, Martin – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented amounts of information communicated to the public relating to STEM. The pandemic can be seen as a 'wicked problem' defined by high complexity, uncertainty and contested social values requiring a transdisciplinary approach formulating social policy. This article argues that a 'Critical STEM…

Brand, Sarah; Jung, Hyunyi; Dorlack, Ashley; Gailliot, Samuel – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Most children, when presented with the option between two drink items, will choose the one with "more." But what exactly do children consider when they recognize one object as having more than another? Is it the perceived surface area or volume of an object? Depending on children's cognitive development, the aspect of measurement on…

Benzer, Ali Ihsan; Ünal, Suat – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
This research examined articles about models and modelling in the context of science education in Turkey by using content analysis method. Two specific academic databases; one of which was Dergipark, a platform including the academic journals published in Turkey, and Scholar Google were examined in detail so that totally 71 articles on models and…

Kazak, Sibel; Pratt, Dave – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
We examine the challenges of teaching probability through the use of modelling. We argue how an integrated modelling approach might facilitate a coordinated understanding of distribution by marrying theoretical and data-oriented perspectives and present probability as more connected to the social lives of modern-day students. Research is, however,…

Ng, Oi-Lam; Cui, Zhihao – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper reports on a design-based study within the context of a 3-day "digital making" (DM) summer camp attended by a group of students (aged 11-13) in grades 5 and 6. During the camp, students were presented with a set of mathematical problems to solve in a block-based programming environment, which was connected to various physical…

Jung, Hyunyi; Wickstrom, Megan H.; Piasecki, Chris – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Have you ever noticed trash collecting in streams or waterways? How does trash influence our environment, and what can be done to enact change? These are questions middle school students explored as the authors launched the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) task. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch activity involves an urgent environmental issue that…

Lai, Yvonne; Lischka, Alyson E.; Strayer, Jeremy F. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
One promising approach for connecting undergraduate content coursework to secondary teaching is using teacher-created representations of practice. Using these representations effectively requires seeing teachers' use of mathematical knowledge in and for teaching (MKT). We argue that Rowland's (2013) Knowledge Quartet for MKT, in particular, the…

Obaya Valdivia, Adolfo E.; Osornio, Carlos Montaño; Vargas-Rodríguez, Yolanda Marina – Online Submission, 2021
In the resolution of problems in chemical kinetics and catalysis the mathematical models relate the independent variable that is usually time, with the dependent variable which is normally the concentration of a reactant. They conform to linear models, whose parameters such as the ordering to origin and the slope are kinetic parameters, applying…

Developing Middle School Students' Meanings for Constructing Graphs through Reasoning Quantitatively
Halil Ibrahim Tasova – ProQuest LLC, 2021
In this dissertation study, I report on six middle school students' construction and interpretation of graphs and associated dynamic situations. Constructing and interpreting graphs represents a critical moment in middle school mathematics due to its opportunity to provide a powerful foundation for learning. Nevertheless, researchers have…

Hughes, Andrew J.; Merrill, Chris – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
As the authors are proponents for engineering education that is done well, they have provided an explanation of truss design using the Method of Joints that combines the application of practical hands-on learning with sound mathematical and scientific theory. The Method of Joints will allow students to design trusses to meet specified criteria…

Nikula, Johannah; DePiper, Jill Neumayer; Driscoll, Mark – Educational Leadership, 2020
Three mathematics education researchers discuss their findings on the use of diagrams in math instruction for English language learners. The authors show how diagrams can help students who are English learners better develop mathematical thinking and communicate their mathematical understanding.

Gabalán-Coello, Jesús; Vásquez-Rizo, Fredy-Eduardo – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2020
This article presents a proposal to analyze student perceptions, through a mathematical model, using a previously designed and validated questionnaire. This approach attempts to describe and explain the different positions and interpretations which inhabit students regarding the notion of professorial quality. For this, a question that sums up the…

Nikula, Johannah; Neumayer DePiper, Jill; Driscoll, Mark – Grantee Submission, 2020
This article provides information to educational leaders about how to address the challenge of supporting students who are emergent multilingual--i.e., those identified as English Learners (ELs) by their schools--in middle grades mathematics classes. The ideas in this article draw on research and collaborations with hundreds of teachers across the…

Jones, Joshua David – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
To be literate in a society where the information shared online is often exploited, learners should be exposed to multiple aspects of contemporary predictive modeling. This article explores an activity in which grade 10 students learned how a famous AI algorithm (the Apriori algorithm) uses conditional probability to automate the process of…

Rui Kang – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The teaching of mathematical modeling is limited in P-12 classrooms. Little is known in regards to how to support teachers to successfully enact modeling activities. Teachers do not always appreciate the value of modeling activities in mathematics learning and often feel unprepared to implement modeling in their classrooms. Teachers often struggle…
