Carina Büscher – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

Figen Bozkus; Pinar Guner – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Interest in teachers' moves to classroom discourse has started to increase since how teachers respond to students' thinking influences students' learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the moves used by one sixth grade mathematics teacher at a public middle school in Turkey to support student reasoning in mathematics instruction and…

Lóa Björk Jóelsdóttir; Paul Andrews – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
In this paper, the multidigit arithmetic-related strategy adaptivity, strategy flexibility and solution accuracy of Danish compulsory school students is examined. Participants, 749 grade three, 731 grade six and 818 grade eight, were drawn from twenty demographically different schools. Drawing on a tri-phase assessment tool, each student completed…

Early, Kristen N. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if a statistically significant difference existed in student growth and proficiency scores between students receiving gamified math instruction compared to those receiving non-gamified math instruction in a suburban middle school in Tennessee. This investigation is based on the theoretical…

Watson, Jane; Fitzallen, Noleine – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This paper reports on the potential for engaging students in an activity that considers the interconnectedness of the five Big Ideas of Statistics in the context of conducting random trials. In the study, two classes of Year 6 students (aged 11-12 years) used "TinkerPlots" to determine the sample space of a "Mystery Spinner."…

Ramírez, Rafael; Cañadas, María C.; Damián, Alba – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
This study lies within the field of early-age algebraic thinking and focuses on describing the functional thinking exhibited by six sixth-graders (11- to 12-year-olds) enrolled in a curricular enhancement program. To accomplish the goals of this research, the structures the students established and the representations they used to express the…

Libni Berenice Castellon – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study described the experiences of a group of seven sixth-grade teachers and the participation of their emergent bilingual students (EBs) during the implementation of an instructional protocol designed to provide students with opportunities to engage in mathematical reasoning through discourse. The Discursive Mathematics Protocol (DMP) is…

Jason Ureña; Rafael Ramírez-Uclés; María C. Cañadas; Marta Molina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Recent research has highlighted the role of functional relationships in introducing elementary school students to algebraic thinking. This functional approach is here considered to study essential components of algebraic thinking such as generalization and its representation, as well as the strategies used by students and their connection with…

Kristyn Sartin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Integer operations are typically introduced in sixth grade, but they are a consistent area of struggle among these students. This struggle also inhibits their understanding of algebraic computations involving positive and negative terms. In this article, the author provides introductory tasks and models for adding and subtracting integers that can…

Mireia Brunet-Biarnes; Lluís Albarracín – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Previous research has highlighted the importance of social relationships in mathematical group work while working on modelling activities. This study analyses the interaction of sixth-grade students in Primary Education (11 to 12 years old) carrying out a modelling task in groups with a Fermi problem used as the modelling activity. The focus of…

Despina Desli; Panagiotis Dimitropoulos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The present study aimed to examine children's and adults' performance and strategies in volume estimations. Three tasks were designed and presented to 40 adults and 40 6th grade children who were asked to estimate: (a) the number of unit measures (bricks/rice spoons) that may be put in a container, (b) the quantity of bricks/rice, between two…

A. Susan Gay; Jeanine Haistings; Jason L. Rucker; Lindsay Garcia; Megan Koenigsman – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
The lesson described in this article was developed and taught by a team of mathematics educators and physical therapists, with the shared goal of broadening students' perception of how mathematics concepts are applied in the real world. This lesson gives students authentic experience with the Gait Speed Test as a physical therapist would…

Helena Johansson; Cecilia Kilhamn – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Generalization is one of the core aspects of algebraic thinking, and research literature points to the importance of objectification when generalizing mathematical discourses. To increase the field's understanding of the objectification process in various algebra discourses, our study analyses Grade 6 teachers' use of words, symbols, routines and…

Panorkou, Nicole; York, Toni; Germia, Erell – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
Instructional designs that include two or more artifacts (digital manipulatives, tables, graphs) have shown to support students' development of reasoning about covarying quantities. However, research often neglects how this development occurs from the student point of view during the interactions with these artifacts. An analysis from this lens…

Davidson, Aylie; Hamilton, Scott; Gervasoni, Ann; Cram, Kristyn; Cullen, Raihana – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
Planning mathematics learning sequences as a team is becoming increasingly common in Australian primary schools and is often referred to as "team planning" or "collaborative planning." The purpose of this article is to illustrate how a multi-age Year 5 and 6 primary school teaching team, authors Scott, Rai and Kristyn, grappled…
