    Reasoning and sense making in the mathematics classroom, pre-K-grade 2.Michael T. Battista (ed.) - 2016 - Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
    Based on extensive research conducted by the authors, Reasoning and Sense Making in the Mathematics Classroom, Pre-K-Grade 2, is designed to help classroom teachers understand, monitor, and guide the development of students' reasoning and sense making about core ideas in elementary school mathematics. It describes and illustrates the nature of these skills using classroom vignettes and actual student work in conjunction with instructional tasks and learning progressions to show how reasoning and sense making develop and how instruction can support (...)

    Grasping the spirit in nature: Anschauung in Ørsted’s epistemology of science and beauty.Kristine Hays Lynning & Anja Skaar Jacobsen - 2011 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 42 (1):45-57.
    The intersection between art, poetry, philosophy and science was the leitmotif which guided the lives and careers of romantic natural philosophers including that of the Danish natural philosopher, H. C. Ørsted. A simple model of Ørsted’s career would be one in which it was framed by two periods of philosophical speculation: the youth’s curious and idealistic interest in new attractive thoughts and the experienced man’s mature reflections at the end of his life. We suggest that a closer look at the (...)

    The psychology of mathematics: a journey of personal mathematical empowerment for educators and curious minds.Anderson Norton - 2022 - New York, NY: Routledge.
    This book offers an innovative introduction to the psychological basis of mathematics and the nature of mathematical thinking and learning, using an approach that empowers students by fostering their own construction of mathematical structures. Through accessible and engaging writing, award-winning mathematician and educator Anderson Norton reframes mathematics as something that exists first in the minds of students, rather than something that exists first in a textbook. By exploring the psychological basis for mathematics at every level - including geometry, algebra, (...)

  4. Elementary Students’ Construction of Geometric Transformation Reasoning in a Dynamic Animation Environment.N. Panorkou & A. Maloney - 2015 - Constructivist Foundations 10 (3):338-347.
    Context: Technology has not only changed the way we teach mathematical concepts but also the nature of knowledge, and thus what is possible to learn. While geometric transformations are recognized to be foundational to the formation of students’ geometric conceptions, little research has focused on how these notions can be introduced in elementary schooling. Problem: This project addressed the need for development of students’ reasoning about and with geometric transformations in elementary school. We investigated the nature of students’ (...)

    Der Aufbruch zum „funktionalen Denken“: Geschichte des Mathematikunterrichts im Kaiserreich.Gert Schubring - 2007 - NTM Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin 15 (1):1-17.
    By the end of the 19th century, mathematics teaching underwent a crisis of similar proportion in several European countries. Constrained by the values of classical Antiquity, which dominated in secondary education, mathematics was taught as a formal discipline enhancing elementary geometry and intended as some gymnastics of the mind. Moreover, a specific feature in Germany was that the country was split up into numerous independent states each having a separated educational system of its own. Many of these (...)
