How Students Conceive Function: A Triarchic Conceptual-Semiotic Model Of The Understanding Of A Complex Concept., Iliada Elia, Panayotis Spyrou Jul 2006

How Students Conceive Function: A Triarchic Conceptual-Semiotic Model Of The Understanding Of A Complex Concept., Iliada Elia, Panayotis Spyrou

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This study explores conceptions for function amongst 164-second year students of the Department of Education at the University of Cyprus and their relationship with students’ abilities in dealing with tasks involving different modes of representations of function. The test that was administered to the students included recognition tasks given in various representations and questions requesting definition and examples of function’s applications in real life situations. Results have shown that students’ definitions and examples of the notion are closely related to their ability to use different modes of representations of function. These three factors, i.e., definitions given by the students, functions …

Numbers And Polynomials- 50 Years Since The Publication Of Wittgenstein's Bemerkungen Über Die Grundlagen Der Mathematik (1956): Mathematical And Educational Reflections, Giorgio T. Bagni Jul 2006

Numbers And Polynomials- 50 Years Since The Publication Of Wittgenstein's Bemerkungen Über Die Grundlagen Der Mathematik (1956): Mathematical And Educational Reflections, Giorgio T. Bagni

The Mathematics Enthusiast

According to L. Wittgenstein, the meaning of a mathematical object is to be grounded upon its use. In this paper we consider Robinson theory Q, the subtheory of firstorder Peano Arithmetic PA; some theorems and conjectures can be interpreted over one model of Q given by a universe of polynomials; with respect to nonconstant polynomials some proofs by elementary methods are given and compared with corresponding results in the standard model of PA. We conclude that the creative power of the language can be pointed out in how the language itself is embedded into the rest of human activities, and …


An In-Depth Investigation Of The Divine Ratio, Birch Fett Jul 2006

An In-Depth Investigation Of The Divine Ratio, Birch Fett

The Mathematics Enthusiast

The interesting thing about mathematical concepts is that we can trace their development or discoveries throughout history. Most cultures of the ancient world had some form of mathematics, and these basic skills developed into what we now call modern mathematics. The divine ratio is similar in that it was used in many different sections of history. The divine ratio, sometimes called the golden ratio or golden section, has been found in very diverse areas. The mathematical concepts of the golden ration have been found throughout nature, in architecture, music as well as in art. Phi is an astonishing number because …


The Effects Of Blended E-Learning On Mathematics And Computer Attitudes In Pre-Calculus Algebra, Balarabe Yushau Jul 2006

The Effects Of Blended E-Learning On Mathematics And Computer Attitudes In Pre-Calculus Algebra, Balarabe Yushau

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This study examines the influence of blended e-learning on students' attitude towards mathematics and computers. A random sample of 70 students of the preparatory year program of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran served as the sample of this study. Data were collected at the beginning (pre-program) and the end (post-program) of the semester using Aiken Mathematics Attitude Scale and Greessen and Loyd Computer Attitude Scale. The result indicates that the subjects have positive attitude towards mathematics and computer. However, analysis of variance shows no statistically significant change in students’ attitudes towards mathematics and computer except for …


A Classification Of Strategies Employed By High School Students In Isomorphic Combinatorial Problems, Martina Janácková, Jaroslav Janácek Jul 2006

A Classification Of Strategies Employed By High School Students In Isomorphic Combinatorial Problems, Martina Janácková, Jaroslav Janácek

The Mathematics Enthusiast

The aim of the paper is to discuss some aspects of the combinatorial thinking of high school students. We took one student - Jane and gave her 4 isomorphic testing problems. Then we tried to classify the different strategies the students took in their solutions.


Frames Of Reference And Achievement In Elementary Arithmetic, Eddie M. Gray, Demetra Pitta-Pantazi Jul 2006

Frames Of Reference And Achievement In Elementary Arithmetic, Eddie M. Gray, Demetra Pitta-Pantazi

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This paper considers the relationship between 8-11 years old students’ numerical achievement and a possible disposition towards the construction of particular frames of reference. The paper uses the characteristics of a variety of kinds of images to focus upon frames of reference and explores a possible relationship between children’s verbal descriptions of concrete and abstract nouns and the different ways they respond to aspects of elementary arithmetic. It seeks to establish whether or not children towards the extremes of arithmetical achievement (low and high achievement) have a disposition towards different kinds of frames of reference. The analysis suggests that at …


Using Manipulatives In Mathematical Problem Solving: A Performance-Based Analysis, Catherine A. Kelly Jul 2006

Using Manipulatives In Mathematical Problem Solving: A Performance-Based Analysis, Catherine A. Kelly

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This article explores problem solving in elementary classrooms while focusing on how children use (perform tasks) manipulatives and/or tools in problem solving while working on mathematical tasks. Ways for teachers to assess children’s learning through performance-based tool (manipulative) use will also be examined and suggested. Current research reveals that teachers need to teach and assess children’s mathematical knowledge in ways that will allow them to show (perform) what they really understand. And, teachers must be able to see beyond obvious correct or incorrect answers into children’s thinking processes by testing with “tests that allow students the opportunity to show what …


World-Class High Quality Mathematics Education For All K-12 American Students, Om P. Ahuja Jul 2006

World-Class High Quality Mathematics Education For All K-12 American Students, Om P. Ahuja

The Mathematics Enthusiast

In September 1989, the United States’ Governors Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia set an ambitious goal by declaring that “By the year 2000, United States students will be first in the world in mathematics and science achievements”. However, recent results of the ‘Programme for International Student Achievement’ and ‘Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study’ indicate that the United States students’ achievements in mathematics are far below world class standards. This paper seeks to discuss issues in an international context related to the goal of creating world-class high quality mathematics education for all K-12 American students. In particular, the author also …


Sunrise… Sunset…, Alex Friedlander, Tzippora Resnick Jul 2006

Sunrise… Sunset…, Alex Friedlander, Tzippora Resnick

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Sunrise and sunset are obviously a part of our everyday life. Our connection to the movement of celestial bodies, including the Sun, has been somewhat diminished by modern life, in contrast to the practical interest, fascination or even awe of earlier civilizations. Mathematics and astronomy have a long history of cooperative work, but due to their complexity and technical difficulty, usually those who participated in this endeavor were at the advanced studies level, or occupied high religious positions.
