Listing of papers presented at the 35th annual conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, held in Singapore in July 2012.
A study by Lee and Wheeler (1989) indicated that students do not seem to see algebra as generalized arithmetic. They behave as though algebra is a closed system “untroubled by arithmetic” (p. 46). Their findings suggest that students do ...
To define better techniques of mathematics education, this book combines a knowledge of cognitive science with mathematics curriculum theory and research.
By refocusing math learning towards the goals of democracy and social and environmental crises, the book also introduces readers to broader contemporary school policy and reform debates and struggles.
Mathematics Education: The Singapore Journey
Given an algebra word problem, it is a common practice among many secondary students to construct a model drawing and then its equivalent algebraic equation and then reverting to arithmetic methods to evaluate the unknown unit, ...
