Resource
This white paper clarifies different purposes elementary students might write in math class and presents four types of mathematical writing. We define "mathematical writing" as writing that encourages students to engage in…
Resource
When teachers understand the key purposes for having students do mathematical writing, they can use that writing to deepen understanding.
When teachers understand the key purposes for having students do…

This paper traces the research-design-develop-test cycle of a haptically-enhanced science simulation designed to teach upper-elementary students core ideas about matter, phase change, and the role of intermolecular forces…
Evolution of Unit Fraction Conceptions in Two Fifth-Graders with a Learning Disability: An Exploratory Study
Resource
This exploratory study examines how a foundational scheme of unit fractions (1/n) may evolve through the mathematical activity of two fifth grade girls.
The literature seems limited in what is known…
Resource
This study investigates facilitation of professional development to promote teacher learning when using animations and videos in a study group with five teachers.
Providing opportunities for learning…
Students’ conceptions of reflection: Opportunities for making connections with perpendicular bisector
Resource
Given the current emphasis on the use of transformations for the teaching and learning of geometry, there is opportunity to consider how students’ understanding of geometric transformations can be used to build connections…
Resource
From a social semiotic perspective, students’ use of language is fundamental to mathematical meaning making. We applied thematic analysis to examine students’ use of geometric and contextual ideas while solving a geometry…
Resource
Throughout elementary school, students learn about positive numbers and how they fit on a number line. The transition to using negative numbers, after only working with numbers greater than zero for several years, can be…
Resource
In this article, we explore how students attempt to bridge from their whole number reasoning to integer reasoning as they solve subtraction problems involving negative numbers.
In this article, we…
Resource
Noticing students' mathematical thinking is a key element of effective instruction, but novice teachers do not naturally engage in this practice. Prospective secondary school mathematics teachers were engaged in an…
Assessment design patterns for computational thinking practices in secondary computer science: A first look
Resource
This report gives an overview of a principled approach to designing assessment tasks that can generate valid evidence of students’ abilities to think computationally.
This report gives an overview of a…
An exploration of teacher learning from an educative reform-oriented curriculum: Case studies of teacher curriculum use
Resource
This study raises questions and makes suggestions for future educative curriculum development and teacher preparation.
Educative curriculum materials provide teachers with authentic opportunities to…
Resource
In this study, we surveyed 42 middle school science teachers and conducted follow-up interviews with 25 to investigate the factors that teachers believe impact their argumentation instruction.
Science…
Learning in a community of practice: Factors impacting English-learning students’ engagement in scientific argumentation
Resource
This case study uses the conceptual framework of communities of practice to investigate the relationship between English-learning students' argumentation and their middle school sheltered English immersion (SEI) science…
Pedagogical content knowledge of argumentation: Using classroom contexts to assess high quality PCK rather than pseudoargumentation
Resource
In this paper, we present lessons learned from a development process to conceptualize, design, and pilot a measure of teachers' PCK of argumentation.
Despite the recent emphasis on science practices,…
Scientific argumentation for all? Comparing teacher beliefs about argumentation in high, mid and low SES schools
Resource
In this study we explored the scientific argumentation beliefs of teachers in low, mid, and high SES schools.
Ensuring all students have opportunities to engage in scientific argumentation is a key goal…
EarSketch: A STEAM-Based Approach for Underrepresented Populations in High School Computer Science Education
Resource
This article presents EarSketch, a learning environment that combines computer programming with sample-based music production to create a computational remixing environment for learning introductory computing concepts…
Resource
This article considers a role for live coding that does not focus on live performance but rather on educational contexts.
Pervasive definitions of live coding in music focus on the simultaneous…
Resource
In this paper, we present a description of the EarSketch environment and curriculum. We also present an overview of the classroom environments in which EarSketch has been implemented to date, including professional…
