This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores terminology, frameworks, and research being conducted worldwide on virtual manipulatives. It brings together international authors who provide their perspectives on virtual manipulatives in research and teaching. By defining terminology, explaining conceptual and theoretical frameworks, and reporting research, the authors provide a comprehensive foundation on the study and use of virtual manipulatives for mathematics teaching and learning. This foundation provides a common way for researchers to communicate about virtual manipulatives and build on the major works that have been conducted on this topic. By discussing these big ideas, the book advances knowledge for future research on virtual manipulatives as these dynamic tools move from computer platforms to hand-held, touch-screen, and augmented platforms.

Download or read book Supporting Teachers Use of Virtual Manipulatives written by Lindsay Reiten and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology integration is a critical and longstanding issue in mathematics education. As access to various technology resources increases, so too has the expectation for teachers to use technology to enhance student engagement and understanding. Despite the potential benefits to integrating technology into teachers' instructional practices, teachers often teach near as opposed to with technology. Teaching near technology describes teachers using technology in a manner that does not promote opportunities for students to communicate, reflect, and connect mathematical representations. Teaching with technology, on the other hand, refers to using technology to promote opportunities for students to communicate and reflect on the mathematics involved, as well as use and connect mathematical representations. Which leads me to the question, How can teachers be supported to teach with (as opposed to near) technology? More specifically, How can teachers be supported to teach with virtual manipulatives and activities? Virtual manipulatives (VMs) are one technology tool that has gained increased attention by teachers, researchers, and organizations as a tool for potentially increasing student engagement and understanding. Although VMs have been used in classrooms for quite some time, limited resources exist to support teachers' efforts to teach with this technology tool. Therefore, the following study investigated a professional development (PD) opportunity for secondary mathematics teachers aimed promoting teachers use of VMs and activities. A task analysis framework and a set of guiding questions were developed and refined during the PD in an effort to support teachers' efforts to teach with virtual manipulatives. Teachers' appropriation of practices related to implementing VMs and activities in their classrooms as well as tensions related to their implementation efforts were also explored. A professional development model, set of guiding questions, and task analysis framework are presented as resources to support teachers' efforts to teach with virtual manipulatives. It is posited that these resources could be adapted for future endeavors aimed at supporting pre-service and in-service teachers to teach with technology-based instructional tasks.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the influence of different virtual manipulative types on the nature of students0́9 techno-mathematical discourse (TMD) when working with a partner. The research used a concurrent mixed-methods design using identical samples to compare and synthesize the results. For this study, six fifth-grade students participated in nine sessions of mathematics instruction using virtual manipulatives. The study compared three virtual manipulative types: combined (multiple representations, open environment), pictorial (single visual representation, open environment), and tutorial (multiple representations, structured environment). Students0́9 levels of discourse in generalization, justification, and collaboration were measured as well as students0́9 use of physical and computer gestures while working with each virtual manipulative type. One-way ANOVAs indicated statistically significant differences in quality of student discourse when using the different virtual manipulative types. When working with combined virtual manipulatives, students0́9 discussions reflected consistently higher levels of discourse than when working with pictorial or tutorial virtual manipulatives. When working with tutorial and pictorial virtual manipulatives, students0́9 discussions reflected consistently lower levels of discourse. However, pictorial virtual manipulatives were associated with the largest amount of discussion among student pairs and the highest frequency of gesture use. The results of this study suggest that in order to encourage meaningful TMD, teachers should choose technology tools (e.g., virtual manipulatives) that combine multiple representations (i.e., combined virtual manipulative type) and provide the opportunity to engage in cognitively demanding tasks. The results of this study indicate that tutorial virtual manipulatives did not encourage meaningful mathematical discourse with these student pairs. This means that the tutorial virtual manipulative type may be better suited for the practice of mathematics concepts or for individual learning than for partner work. The patterns and trends identified in this study contribute to the existing literature on the complex issues that surround mathematical discourse and the use of technology in the classroom.

Download or read book Learning and Teaching Early Math written by Douglas H. Clements and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new book for pre- and in-service teachers, early math experts Douglas Clements and Julie Sarama show how "learning trajectories" help teachers become more effective professionals. By opening up new windows to seeing young children and the inherent delight and curiosity behind their mathematical reasoning, learning trajectories ultimately make teaching more joyous. They help teachers understand the varying level of knowledge and thinking of their classes and the individuals within them as key in serving the needs of all children. In straightforward, no-nonsense language, this book summarizes what is known about how children learn mathematics, and how to build on what they know to realize more effective teaching practice. It will help teachers understand the learning trajectories of early mathematics and become quintessential professionals.

Download or read book How Numbers Work written by New Scientist and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think of a number between one and ten. No, hang on, let's make this interesting. Between zero and infinity. Even if you stick to the whole numbers, there are a lot to choose from - an infinite number in fact. Throw in decimal fractions and infinity suddenly gets an awful lot bigger (is that even possible?) And then there are the negative numbers, the imaginary numbers, the irrational numbers like pi which never end. It literally never ends. The world of numbers is indeed strange and beautiful. Among its inhabitants are some really notable characters - pi, e, the "imaginary" number i and the famous golden ratio to name just a few. Prime numbers occupy a special status. Zero is very odd indeed: is it a number, or isn't it? How Numbers Work takes a tour of this mind-blowing but beautiful realm of numbers and the mathematical rules that connect them. Not only that, but take a crash course on the biggest unsolved problems that keep mathematicians up at night, find out about the strange and unexpected ways mathematics influences our everyday lives, and discover the incredible connection between numbers and reality itself. ABOUT THE SERIES New Scientist Instant Expert books are definitive and accessible entry points to the most important subjects in science; subjects that challenge, attract debate, invite controversy and engage the most enquiring minds. Designed for curious readers who want to know how things work and why, the Instant Expert series explores the topics that really matter and their impact on individuals, society, and the planet, translating the scientific complexities around us into language that's open to everyone, and putting new ideas and discoveries into perspective and context.
