Kindergarten and first graders' knowledge of the number symbols: production and recognition.(Report)
January 1, 2008... The Hindu-Arabic number system represents amounts of objects by number symbols, without referring to other properties of these objects (e.g., color, size). That is to say that the number symbols, like many other symbols, are linked to the objects that they represent in an arbitrary but agreed...
Teacher-developed mathematics performance assessments in the context of reform-based professional development.(Report)
January 1, 2008... One of the disappointments associated with the mathematical reform movement is the increasing mismatch between the improvements made in curriculum and instruction and prevalent assessment modes (Firestone & Schorr, 2004; Niss, 1993). Despite early calls for change in assessment practice, such...
A complex system analysis of practitioners' discourse about research.(Report)
January 1, 2008... The recent past has seen an increasing frequency of calls for teachers to implement "evidence-based" practices (Davies, 1999; U.S. Department of Education, 2002). At the same time, it has been noted that teachers see research as largely irrelevant to practice (Lester & William, 2002; Steen,...
From an operational to a relational conception of the equal sign: third graders' developing algebraic thinking.(Report)
January 1, 2008... As algebra has taken a more prominent role in mathematics education, many are advocating introducing children to it in primary school (e.g., Carraher, Schliemann, Brizuela, & Earnest, 2006; Kaput, 2000; National Council of Teacher of Mathematics, 2000), and open number sentences can be a good...
Class within a class: a systematic approach to teaching high school mathematics students with special needs.(Table)
September 22, 2007... Abstract
A general education teacher completed an action research project in order to serve his students with special needs better by truly incorporating a special education teacher in co-teaching. By doing so with a set routine each day, the students were able to gain more mathematics...
