Amanda Gardner – set: Research Information for Teachers, 2024
In 2020, two teachers and seven students participated in an action research project that sought to improve the teaching and learning of fractions in a New Zealand primary school. This research revealed that the collaborative creation of hypothetical learning trajectories was beneficial to the teachers' practice, content knowledge, and confidence,…

Zhang, Shudong; Yu, Shuyuan; Xiao, Jing; Liu, Yunting; Jiang, Ting – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Fractions are an important mathematical concept for elementary students. However, students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) struggle with learning fractions. Research has demonstrated that concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instruction is an effective practice for students with learning and developmental disabilities. Here we…

Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Olmo-Muñoz, Javier; Arnau, David; Tirado-Olivares, Sergio – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
This study analyses the potential of a learning analytics (LA) based formative assessment to construct personalised teaching sequences in Mathematics for 5th-grade primary school students. A total of 127 students from Spanish public schools participated in the study. The quasi-experimental study was conducted over the course of six sessions, in…

Flores, Margaret M.; Hinton, Vanessa M.; Meyer, Jill M. – Remedial and Special Education, 2020
Understanding related to fraction concepts is a critical prerequisite for advanced study in mathematics such as algebra. Therefore, it is important that elementary students form conceptual and procedural understanding of fractional numbers, allowing for advancement in mathematics. The concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instructional sequence…

Bouck, Emily C.; Maher, Courtney; Park, Jiyoon; Whorley, Abbie – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Fractions are foundational concepts for more advanced mathematics as well as used throughout daily living, for all students, including students with disabilities. This study explored the virtual-abstract (VA) instructional sequence with regard to the acquisition and maintenance of fraction behaviors for three middle school students with mild…

Flores, Raymond; Inan, Fethi A.; Han, Sunyoung; Koontz, Esther – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
This study examined the effects of two teaching treatments [multiple-representation instruction (MR) and traditional algorithmic instruction (TA)] on students' performance on mathematics problems that integrated fractions, decimals, and percent. Using a 2 × 2 crossover design, the effect of the teaching treatments and their sequences on student…

Park, Mihwa; Yi, Minju; Flores, Raymond; Nguyen, Bangtam – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This study highlighted the characteristics and patterns of preservice teachers' informal formative assessment conversations woven into mathematics classrooms. Participants were four preservice teachers from an elementary mathematics methods course whose videotaped lessons were analyzed using an analytic framework based on Initiation, Response and…

Doroudi, Shayan; Holstein, Kenneth; Aleven, Vincent; Brunskill, Emma – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
How should a wide variety of educational activities be sequenced to maximize student learning? Although some experimental studies have addressed this question, educational data mining methods may be able to evaluate a wider range of possibilities and better handle many simultaneous sequencing constraints. We introduce Sequencing Constraint…
