In order to improve instruction, teachers need to make sense of and evaluate the critical events that have the potential to strengthen the understanding of students' mathematical thinking. Mathematics instruction has shifted toward inquiry teaching which leaves many teachers attempting to change their practices accordingly. While there are documents that help mathematics teachers understand inquiry practices, there is little guidance for teachers who teach in classroom settings in which students with special needs are included. Since mathematical reasoning and conceptual understanding have become as important to teach as procedures, it is imperative that co-teachers draw on each other's knowledge to incorporate inquiry co-teaching practices. A design-based research project was conducted to explore the co-teaching practices in an inquiry mathematics classroom setting. We document co-teaching practices that are effective for planning and implementing inquiry mathematics lessons.

An in-service primary teacher's implementation of mathematical tasks: the case of length measurement and perimeter instruction COŞKUN, SÜMEYRA DOĞAN; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (Informa UK Limited, 2019-05-01) The purpose of this paper is to examine the cognitive demand levels of tasks used by an in-service primary teacher during length measurement and perimeter instruction and to examine a possible link between these tasks and the teacher's mathematical knowledge in teaching. For this purpose, a case study approach was used and the data was drawn from classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and field notes. Specific tasks from length measurement and perimeter instruction were presented and analyzed a...
Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching the Function Concept and Student Learning Outcomes Hatisaru, Vesife; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) The purpose of this study was to examine the potential interrelationships between teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) the function concept and their students' learning outcomes of this concept. Data were collected from two teachers teaching in a vocational high school and their students through a function concept test for teachers and students, follow-up interviews with teachers, and classroom observations. Findings indicated that teachers' MKT and students' learning outcomes were related to...
Fostering prospective mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning through a practice-based instruction Piskin Tunc, Mutlu; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning before and after receiving a practice-based instruction based on proportional reasoning. The Proportional Reasoning Test, semi-structured interviews and observations of student teachings were used to collect data about the participants' proportional reasoning. The results indicated that prospective teachers improved their proportional reasoning by completing a practice-based instruction. Befor...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views about using graphing calculators in elementary school algebra: the case of using Classpad Kaplan, Merve; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) Mathematics education could and should benefit from technology in order to improve teaching and learning, particularly in topics where visualizations and connections to other concepts are needed. Handheld technologies such as graphing calculators can provide students with visualization, confirmation and exploration of problems and concepts they are learning. Handheld graphing technologies have been taken place widely in elementary and secondary level mathematics courses and considered to be beneficial in va...
Measuring striving for understanding and learning value of geometry: a validity study Ubuz, Behiye (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) The current study aimed to construct a questionnaire that measures students' personality traits related to striving for understanding and learning value of geometry and then examine its psychometric properties. Through the use of multiple methods on two independent samples of 402 and 521 middle school students, two studies were performed to address this issue to provide support for its validity. In Study 1, exploratory factor analysis indicated the two-factor model. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis ...
