Ölmez, Ibrahim Burak; Izsák, Andrew – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine distinct latent classes of middle grades mathematics teachers with respect to reasoning about fractions. Survey response data came from a nationwide sample of 990 in-service middle grades mathematics teachers. The survey focused on four components of reasoning about fractions in terms of quantities:…

Bouck, Emily C.; Park, Jiyoon; Bouck, Mary K.; Sprick, Jessica; Buckland, Angela – Preventing School Failure, 2019
Response to intervention (RtI) in secondary schools is a viable option for mathematics, but limited research exists. In the study, students who received just Tier 1 (i.e., general education mathematics class) and students who received both Tier 1 and Tier 2 (i.e., a math lab) completed a pretest and posttest of grade-level content. The results…

George W. Bush Institute, Education Reform Initiative, 2017
Success in math is important to all students; it provides them with college and career options in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the middle grades, students build upon the critical skills taught in elementary school and prepare for entry into algebra, which is considered a gateway to later achievement in school…

Komatsu, Kotaro; Sakamaki, Aruta – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
From a fallibilist perspective, mathematics gradually develops with problems, conjectures, proofs, and refutations. To attain such authentic mathematical learning, it is important to intentionally treat refutation in mathematics classrooms, such as facing or proposing counterexamples and coping with them. In particular, analysing students'…

Cai, Jinfa; Silber, Steven; Hwang, Stephen; Nie, Bikai; Moyer, John C.; Wang, Ning – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This study examined the longitudinal effects of a middle school reform mathematics curriculum on students' open-ended problem solving in high school. Using assessment data from a large, longitudinal project, we compared the open-ended problem-solving performance and strategy use of high school students who had used the Connected Mathematics…
