Campo-Meneses, Karen Gisel; Font, Vicenç; García-García, Javier; Sánchez, Alicia – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The current paper aims to identify the mathematical connections activated by 10 Mexican high school students while solving mathematical tasks that involve the exponential and logarithmic function. We used the Expanded Mathematical Connections Model (EMCM) and the OntoSemiotic Approach of Cognition and Mathematical Instruction (OSA) as theoretical…

Cetina-Vázquez, Melby; Cabañas-Sánchez, Guadalupe; Sosa-Moguel, Landy – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2019
This study characterizes the classroom mathematical practices that support the collective mathematical progress during the treatment of a quadratic function in an Introductory Calculus course comprised of 15 students from eleventh grade (from 16 to 18 years old). A teaching experiment that discussed two variational situations was designed for the…

Aguilar, Jair J. – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2021
A mathematical client-driven task known as Model-Eliciting Activities was implemented with students of different levels of achievement (i.e., low, average, and high) at the high-school level. The study strived to prove that Model-Eliciting Activities can be solved by students at any achievement level and be used as an assessment tool. Students…

Dolores-Flores, Crisólogo; Rivera-López, Martha Iris; García-García, Javier – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This paper reports the results of a research exploring the mathematical connections of pre-university students while they solving tasks which involving rates of change. We assume mathematical connections as a cognitive process through which a person finds real relationships between two or more ideas, concepts, definitions, theorems, procedures,…

Briseño-Miranda, César; Guzmán-Hernández, José – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
In this paper we report the results obtained when implementing Activities related to the visualization of geometric representations in paper-and-pencil and technological environments with students1 grade 11. This is a qualitative research supported by both the representation theory and the visualization of mathematical objects using technological…
