This proposal was implemented at the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic using various digital media. Two teaching experiments were carried out with engineering students at a Mexican public university. We present the hypothetical learning trajectory that should be followed toward solving the task, and contrast it in each case with the students’ actual learning trajectory.

Spatial visualization is closely related to mathematics achievement, but little is known about how these skills link to task success. We examined middle school students’ representations and solutions to area problems (both non-metric and metric) through qualitative and quantitative task analysis. Task solutions were analyzed as a function of spatial visualization skills and links were made between student solutions on tasks with different goals (i.e., non-metric and metric). Findings suggest that strong spatial visualizers solved the tasks with relative ease, with evidence for conceptual and procedural understanding. By contrast, Low and Average Spatial students more frequently produced errors due to failure to correctly determine linear measurements or apply appropriate formula, despite adequate procedural knowledge. A novel finding was the facilitating role of spatial skills in the link between metric task representation and success in determining a solution. From a teaching and learning perspective, these results highlight the need to connect emergent spatial skills with mathematical content and support students to develop conceptual understanding in parallel with procedural competence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50176953","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}

We used ideas from the history of mathematics and mathematics education within a cultural-historical framework to define fractions and construct tasks.

Through physical manipulations and discourse, students developed the idea that a fraction reports a multiplicative comparison between two commensurable quantities of the same kind.

In this paper, we present a learning environment developed to assist elementary-school students to bridge the empirical-deductive gap in the context of parity of numbers. Using the commognitive framework, we construe the empirical-deductive gap as part of a broader divide between two discourses that abide by different rules of a “mathematical game”: a discourse on specific numbers and a discourse on numeric patterns. Interdiscursivity is leveraged as a mechanism for instructional design, where students’ familiar routines with specific numbers are teased out and advanced to make sense in the new discourse. We mobilize this mechanism to create opportunities for students to play an active role in recognizing issues with empirical reasoning and generating deductive arguments to establish the validity of universal statements. The environment is illustrated with a small group of 8-year-olds who learned to justify deductively that “odd + odd = even”.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50177012","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}
