How better to begin the study of linear equations in an algebra class than to determine what students already know about the subject? A seventh-grade algebra class in a suburban school undertook a project early in the school year that was completed before they began studying linear relations and functions. The project, which might have been…

Brown, Rachael Eriksen; Nagar, Gili Gal; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Weiland, Travis; Burke, James – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
In this exploratory study we considered how one teacher's understanding of proportional reasoning related to his teaching. We used Epistemic Network Analysis to consider the teachers' knowledge organization and connections between knowledge resources as a way to make sense of his understanding. Then, we examined how his understanding was reflected…
