Resource | Negotiating Identities for Mathematics Teaching in the Context of Professional Development
In this article, we present an analytical approach for documenting the identities for teaching that mathematics teachers negotiate as they participate in two or more communities that define high-quality teaching differently. Drawing on data from the first two years of a collaboration with a group of middle-school mathematics teachers, we focus on a critical initial condition for teachers to…

Resource | Mathematics teachers at work: Connecting curriculum materials and classroom instruction
This book compiles and synthesizes existing research on teachers’ use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching and teachers, with a particular emphasis on – but not restricted to – those materials developed in the 1990s in response to the NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Despite the substantial amount of curriculum development…

Resource | Math Snacks: Games to Address Gaps in Mathematics Learning Poster
Shared in three sessions (Gaming Arcade, Interactive Visualizations-Simulations-and Games, and Friday morning poster session), this poster addresses the gaps identified in the Math Snacks project, and the approach to designing the games and animations that are the "Snacks". Math Snacks address significant gaps in understanding. They are not defined as "homework help", but as a way to help…

Resource | Math and Science Education with English Language Learners: Contributions of the DR K-12 Program
To investigate the contribution of the DR K‐12 portfolio to the knowledge base on math and sciencelearning among ELLs, CADRE designed a study to explore the ELL work that is being conducted in theDR K‐12 projects. This paper summarizes the work of this study. It begins with a description of themethodology employed, followed by a presentation of the findings, and finally a discussion of…

Resource | Learning to Teach Mathematics in Urban High Schools: Untangling the Threads of Interwoven Narratives
In this article, the authors explore learning about equity pedagogy in mathematics by focusing on the experiences of a teacher and teacher educator within the Centering the Teaching of Mathematics on Urban Youth project. One teacher’s story is interwoven as a counterpoint and specific trajectory within the broader narrative provided by the teacher educator. Key themes addressed include…

Resource | Investigating How Setting Up Cognitively Demanding Tasks is Related to Opportunities to Learn in Middle-Grades Mathematics Classrooms
In this paper we focus on what happens when a task is first introduced to students as a crucial phase of instruction. We report on an empirical study of 132 middle grades mathematics teachers' instruction—in particular, the nature of the ways in which they introduced tasks, and the relationship between how they introduced tasks and the nature of students' opportunities to learn mathematics in the…

Resource | Interactive Heat Transfer Simulations for Everyone
Heat transfer is widely taught in secondary Earth science and physics. Researchers have identified many misconceptions related to heat and temperature. These misconceptions primarily stem from hunches developed in everyday life (though the confusions in terminology often worsen them). Interactive computer simulations that visualize thermal energy, temperature distribution, and heat transfer…

Resource | Including English Language Learners in the Process of Test Development: A Study on Instrument Linguistic Adaptation for Cognitive Validity
This paper reports preliminary results from an investigation, still in progress, on the use of verbal protocols among native Spanish-speaking, English language learners (ELLs) of various proficiency levels and background characteristics. We focus on language use among ELLs during various stages of a cognitive interview designed to probe whether and how studentsbenefitted from the inclusion of…

Resource | Illustrations with Graphic Devices in Large-Scale Science Assessments: An Exploratory Cross-Cultural Study of Students’ Interpretations
In this exploratory, cross-cultural study, we examined students’ interpretations of graphic devise-based illustrations used in science tests. Graphic devices are visual components (e.g., arrows, dotted lines) intended to ensure proper understanding of the scientific processes or phenomena represented by the illustrations. We address cultural differences in terms of the interaction of two factors…
