Mathematics and Transition to School
This edited book brings together for the first time an international collection of work focused on two important aspects of any young child’s life – learning mathematics and starting primary or elementary school. The chapters take a variety of perspectives, and integrate these two components in sometimes explicit and sometimes more subtle ways. The key issues and themes explored in this book are: the mathematical and other strengths that all participants in the transition to school bring to this period of a child’s life; the opportunities provided by transition to school for young children’s mathematics learning; the importance of partnerships among adults, and among adults and child...
Psychology and Mathematics Education
Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "erro...
Early Mathematics Learning
This book will gather current research in early childhood mathematics education. A special focus will be the tension between instruction and construction of knowledge. The book includes research on the design of learning opportunities, the development of mathematical thinking, the impact of the social setting and the professionalization of nursery teachers.
Describing and Studying Domain-Specific Serious Games
This book describes research outcomes on domain-specific serious games. The first part of the book focuses on the design and major characteristics of actual (mainly math-related) serious games. The second part of the book presents recent empirical studies on these games, exploring topics such as the effectiveness of serious games for learning and increasing motivation and the influence of learners’ domain-specific and game competencies. The integration of serious games into the curriculum and subsequent performance and motivation outcomes are also presented.
Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. The book presents the Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) and is based on the presentations given at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 brought together about 3.500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German...
Mathematische Begegnungen mit Kindern schätzen lernen
Die Kinder der Waschbären-Klasse konstatieren in ihren mathematischen Glückwünschen an „ihre“ Professorin Silke Ruwisch: „Eine Professorin wird 60. Das ist die Hälfte von 120 und das Doppelte von 30.“ Die Kinder fokussieren auf Zahlbeziehungen und schaffen damit eine hervorragende Ergänzung zu Silke Ruwischs anwendungsorientierten Forschungsschwerpunkten zum Sachrechnen und Modellieren in der Grundschule. Diese sind ebenso anerkannt wie ihr Engagement, theoriegeleitet Lernsettings für die Praxis zu entwickeln. In den Beiträgen der vorliegenden Festschrift greifen Wegbegleiter:innen, Kolleg:innen, Freund:innen und Doktorand:innen Ideen und Vorarbeiten ihrer zahlreichen Publikat...
