Clisby, Nathan; Edwards, Antony – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this classroom note, we outline a system of assessment used by the authors since 2020 to deliver individualized summative assessments to students from first- and second-year mathematics courses. Our system comprises three modular components allowing a mix-and-match of different technological approaches and mathematical question types. First is…

Boatman, Angela; Claro, Susana; Fresard, Matias; Kramer, Jenna W. – Research in Higher Education, 2022
For countries concerned about equity and access to higher education, providing support services for academically underprepared students is critical to increasing their probabilities of success. Corequisite math courses provide opportunities for underprepared students to develop their basic math skills through simultaneous enrollment in…

Radmehr, Farzad; Nedaei, Mahboubeh; Drake, Michael – PRIMUS, 2022
Mathematics education faculty working in mathematics departments are commonly involved in teaching undergraduate mathematics courses, teaching and supervising postgraduate students of mathematics education, and developing mathematics teachers (pre-service and/or in-service). This paper proposes a new elective course that can be taken by either…

Gaines, Benjamin – PRIMUS, 2022
In introductory level math classes, writing prompts can be used as part of weekly homework assignments to encourage students to think more deeply about the subject at hand. These writing prompts present scenarios related to recently learned material in a new context and require students to submit a short written response online. Writing prompts…

Hwang, Jihye; Castle, Sarah D.; Karunakaran, Shiv Smith – PRIMUS, 2022
Collegiate mathematics instructors are moving away from traditional lecture-based teaching practices to accommodate the pedagogies that support more active student learning. As part of the movement, groupwork has been increasingly implemented. At the same time, mathematics classrooms have become increasingly diverse and also in the distribution of…

Sandefur, James; Lockwood, Elise; Hart, Eric; Greefrath, Gilbert – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we provide an overall perspective on the teaching and learning of discrete mathematics. Our aim is to highlight what research has been conducted in this area and to connect it to existing research ideas for future work. We begin by characterizing discrete mathematics and its role in the school curriculum, highlighting themes,…

Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Wagner, Madeleine; Brown, Austin; Copeland, Colene – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
The widely used Draw a Scientist Test was revised to focus on statistics and 110 Elementary Statistics students were asked to draw a statistician. In addition, to better understand students' drawings and have some relative comparison, 173 College Algebra students were asked to draw a mathematician. A detailed analysis of students' images and…

Hirst, H.; Palmer, K. – PRIMUS, 2019
The authors describe working with partner disciplines during the process of updating mathematics courses for the general education quantitative literacy requirement. The conversations resulted in significant changes to the business calculus course and a rich listing of applications to be incorporated into the college algebra course from technical…

Ekici, Celil; Plyley, Chris – PRIMUS, 2019
Following a modeling-first approach to differential equations, inquiry-based learning activities on modeling and controlling the growth of locally relevant species, such as lionfish or sea turtles, are developed by the authors. Emerging exemplary practices are presented, building towards a balanced teaching of differential equations involving…

Rahman, Shafia Abdul – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
Meaningful mathematics learning requires creating opportunities for learners to make use of their awareness to contact important mathematical structures. Four first year undergraduates studying engineering, mathematics and education were invited to construct examples meeting specified constraints in order to investigate their awareness of…

Azrou, Nadia; Khelladi, Abdelkader – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
This paper deals with writing a proof text as the final step of the proving process at university level, particularly when it results in a disorganized, unclear draft. The reported study concerns third year university students when dealing with proof tasks for which the proving process has to be built up, as opposed to tasks that students may…

Seaton, Katherine A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
To date, the way that academic misconduct is manifested in undergraduate mathematics coursework has been unexamined in the literature, with the consequence that policy and preventive education can fail to address it appropriately. This paper describes the particular features of the responses expected in mathematical tasks and provides concrete…

Seiboldt, Cassandra R.; Males, Lorraine M.; Males, Joshua R. – Mathematics Teacher, 2019
Beginning a teaching career and working to prepare and support beginning teachers is a roller-coaster of successes and puzzling moments. In this article, author Cassandra (Cassie) Seiboldt shares how she learned to manage her first years of teaching by purposefully planning through anticipating student thinking and solutions, and the positive…

Maxwell, Mary; Gleason, Jim – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Many large universities, community colleges and some smaller four-year colleges are turning to hybrid or online instruction for remedial and entry level mathematics courses, often assessed using online exams in a proctored computer lab environment. Faculty face the task of choosing questions from a publisher's text bank with very little, if any,…

Holdener, Judy A.; Jones, Brian D. – PRIMUS, 2019
Storytelling has proved to be an effective way of passing on information from one generation to the next. Whether the information relates to history, culture, health, or morality, the story provides a framework so that complex ideas can be better understood and retained. In this article, we consider the role of narrative in the design and…
