Lärarna och forskarna Anna Stridfält, Marie Björk, Paul Stensland och Åsa Nikula har gjort en learning study där de lyckats få elever i årskurs 4 att bättre förstå decimaltal. I ett avsnitt i Lärarstiftelsens nya podd Lärare & Forskning berättar två av författarna om studien.

Many mathematics education researchers note that getting learners talking about mathematics and developing their own explanations is important, writes Marc Husband, assistant professor, et al.

Forskaren Jenny Svanteson Wester har undersökt hur elever kan diskutera ett matematiskt innehåll – både i smågrupper och helklass. Nu har hon hittat en lektionsdesign som förenklar för alla.

Using tables can help bring challenging abstract algebraic concepts into better focus for high school students.

Equitable, evidence-based math lets students tackle each aspect of the subject in the way it makes the most sense to them rather than forcing one definitive method on an entire class, write Tori Trajanovski and Cristina De Simone, education doctoral candidates at York University in Canada. They explain why cultural, experiential and peer input can…

I det här poddavsnittet pratar utvecklingsläraren Caisa Skoglund med Rikard Gustafsson, förstelärare och verksamhetsutvecklare matematik. Han berättar om metoden (Tänka, Räkna, Resonera) som används för att träna taluppfattning i årskurs F-3. (webb-radio)

Experiential learning can help curb disparities in science and math that emerge early on, says Emily Adah Miller, an assistant professor at the University of Georgia Department of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Education and a co-author of the Next Generation Science Standards.

When teachers guide students to look beyond narrow metrics of success in math, more students will see their potential for learning.

Spatial thinking can help with math development as it relates to life skills, writes Emily Farran, professor of cognitive development. Teachers can help improve students' spatial understanding with "small-world play," such as doll houses and toy farms and using spatial vocabulary, such as "next to," "in," and "parallel," Farran suggests.
