Grade 6 students' abilities to represent functional relationships
İşler Baykal, Işıl; Stephens, Ana; Fonger, Nicole; Blanton, Maria; Gardiner, Angela; Knuth, Eric (2017-01-01)
This paper reports results from Grade 6 students' written work on a functional thinking assessment item. The results show that students who experienced an early algebra intervention during Grades 3-5 were more likely to successfully represent a function rule in words and variables than students who did not. Also, both comparison and intervention groups of students were found to be more successful representing a function rule in variables than in words. The results underscore the impact of early algebra on s...
First year engineering students understanding of tangency numerical calculation of gradients and the approximate value of a function at a point through computers
Ubuz, Behiye (2001-01-01)
This study investigated whether and how computers in realis-tic classroom settings could influence first year engineering students' learning of calculus. Four groups, including 147 students enrolled in calculus courses in four different univer-sities in England, participated in the study. Although no dis-tinguishing difference was found between the computer and the noncomputer groups, the results suggested that a signifi-cant relationship does exist between the students' perfor-mance and their perceptions o...
Sixth grade students‟ perceptions of and engagement in ethnomathematical tasks in the area measurement concept
Aktuna, Hatice Ezgi; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the sixth grade students' perceptions of and engagement in ethnomathematical tasks in area measurement concept. The study aims to explore how do students perceive and engage with the area measurement instruction enriched with ethnomathematics. Data was collected from twelve 6th grade students in a public school located in rural Izmir. The design of the research was basic qualitative research design which the researcher was also the teacher at the same time. The ar...
Pre-Service Middle School Mathematics Teachers' Understanding of Students' Knowledge: Location of Decimal Numbers on a Number Line
GİRİT, DİLEK; Akyüz, Didem (2016-01-01)
Studies reveal that students as well as teachers have difficulties in understanding and learning of decimals. The purpose of this study is to investigate students' as well as pre-service teachers' solution strategies when solving a question that involves an estimation task for the value of a decimal number on the number line. We also examined the pre-service teachers' anticipation of students' misconceptions and difficulties for the given task. To conduct our analysis, we conducted interviews with three 5th...
