Levels of Participatory Conceptions of Fractional Quantity Along a Purposefully Sequenced Series of Equal Sharing Tasks: Stu's Trajectory
Resource
Current intervention research in special education focuses on children's responsiveness to teacher modeled strategies and not conceptual development within children's thinking. As a result, there is a need for research…
Exploratory Study of Informal Strategies for Equal Sharing Problems of Students With Learning Disabilities
Resource
Little to no information exists explaining the nature of conceptual gaps in understanding fractions for students with learning disabilities (LD); such information is vital to practitioners seeking to develop instruction or…

This paper investigates how one elementary school child with specific visual motor integration differences constructed a unit fraction concept.
Cognitive differences have historically led to deficit…

This study concerns the cognitive process of mathematical problem posing, conceptualized in three stages: understanding the task, constructing the problem, and expressing the problem. We used the eye tracker and think-…
Reasoning About Data in Elementary School: Student Strategies and Strengths when Reasoning with Multiple Variables
Resource
The need for data literacy is an increasingly pressing priority in society, but most of the work in data-centred education has focused on developing skills at the middle school, secondary, and post-secondary levels, with…

Cognitive interviews play an important role in articulating the intended construct of educational assessments. This paper describes the iterative development of protocols for cognitive interviews with kindergarten through…
Language Systematizes Attention: How Relational Language Enhances Relational Representation by Guiding Attention
Resource
Language can affect cognition, but through what mechanism? Substantial past research has focused on how labeling can elicit categorical representation during online processing. We focus here on a particularly powerful type…
