However, determining what is important and identifying what students actually understand in relation to what is deemed to be important are by no means uncontested or straightforward endeavours. In recent years attention has turned to the development of evidenced-based learning trajectories (or progressions) as a means of identifying what mathematics is important and how it is understood over time. But for this information to be useful to practitioners, it needs to be accompanied by accurate forms of assessment that locate where learners are in their learning journey and evidenced-based advice about where to go to next. This chapter traces the origins of the Scaffolding Numeracy in the Middle Years (SNMY) research project that used rich assessment tasks and Rasch analysis techniques to develop an evidence-based framework to support the teaching and learning of multiplicative thinking in Years (Grades) 4 to 9.","PeriodicalId":326610,"journal":{"name":"Researching and Using Progressions (Trajectories) in Mathematics Education","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126484422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypothesised learning progressions were developed for each of the three target domains based on prior research. Potential assessment tasks, together with detailed scoring rubrics, that addressed the learning progressions were developed and trialed. A detailed examination of the Rasch analysis output indicated modifications that were needed and the modified questions were retrialed. Finally, the resulting variable was interpreted and segmented into Zones that were used as the basis for developing teaching advice. In describing this process, we comment on the application of learning trajectories more generally and suggest further avenues for research in this field.","PeriodicalId":326610,"journal":{"name":"Researching and Using Progressions (Trajectories) in Mathematics Education","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114626109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geometric reasoning is the ability to critically analyse axiomatic properties, formulate logical arguments, identify new relationships and prove propositions. All types of geometric concepts develop over time, becoming increasingly integrated and synthesized as individuals learn to visualise beyond the physical images, and participate in taken-as-shared mathematical discourse to describe, analyse, infer and deduce geometric relationships, leading to engaging in formal proof. By analysing data collected through a series of assessment items we have designed and verified an eight-zone learning progression. Examples will be provided to show how the assessment items, activities and teaching advice can be used to help develop and nurture geometric reasoning.","PeriodicalId":326610,"journal":{"name":"Researching and Using Progressions (Trajectories) in Mathematics Education","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123607571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected in 2016 from students in Years 7 to 10 from various different States across Australia. An exploratory factor analysis identified four factors which were consistent with the studies the items were adapted from: Intrinsic and Cognitive Value of Mathematics, Instrumental Value of Mathematics, Mathematics Effort, and Social Impact of School Mathematics. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) also revealed that there were statistically significant differences between Year Levels for some of these factors. The results from the study have confirmed that the survey items continue to be valid and reliable in the mathematics context. The findings also highlight the need for further investigations to examine how students' motivations and perceptions of mathematics develop and differ across the different states in Australia.","PeriodicalId":326610,"journal":{"name":"Researching and Using Progressions (Trajectories) in Mathematics Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116907427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
