Preparing Preservice Mathematics Teachers To Teach For Social Justice, Jodie Cahill
Preparing Preservice Mathematics Teachers To Teach For Social Justice, Jodie Cahill
Honors Projects
As a preservice teacher, I have always been taught that mathematics should be relatable to students. My future students live in a tumultuous society with many social justice issues affecting them. In the endeavor to connect mathematics to the real world, I sought to intertwine social justice topics into mathematics lessons. My research question is: How do social justice topics support preservice mathematics teachers’ endeavors to enrich their future students’ educations? I conducted a two-part professional development workshop for preservice teachers at Bowling Green State University about teaching mathematics for social justice in order to answer this question. There was …
Using Sports To Develop Community In The Mathematics Classroom, Benjamin Lawson
Using Sports To Develop Community In The Mathematics Classroom, Benjamin Lawson
Honors Projects
A positive classroom climate and community should be achieved in every classroom (Frisby, 2020, pgs. 199-200). This sense of community is especially sparse in the field of mathematics education. According to the High School Athletics Participation Survey (2019) the number of high schoolers participating in sports continues to rise. Sport ideologies could offer a bridge to connect mathematics classrooms and establish community in ways a pure educational perspective has not been able to. The purpose of this analysis is to shed light on an alternate perspective of mathematics education and incorporate sport philosophies to foster community building by establishing rapport, …
Impact Of Kinesthetic Learning On Student Knowledge Retention And Attitudes Toward Mathematics, Alyssa Lustgarten
Impact Of Kinesthetic Learning On Student Knowledge Retention And Attitudes Toward Mathematics, Alyssa Lustgarten
Honors Projects
This research study examines the impact of kinesthetic learning on student knowledge retention and attitudes toward mathematics. Specifically, this study focuses on teaching mathematics to secondary students through dance. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed regarding student mathematics knowledge retention and student attitudes towards mathematics. Although student mathematics knowledge retention increased for both the control and treatment groups, student attitudes toward mathematics decreased after the intervention for the treatment group.

Our goal is to explore the difference of these two SMPs through a task designed for learners of differing abilities and connect the SMP and the mathematics content exhibited through the task engagement.
Middle Grades Preservice Teachers' Experiences With Proof And Reasoning Focused Instruction, Jonathan Bostic
Middle Grades Preservice Teachers' Experiences With Proof And Reasoning Focused Instruction, Jonathan Bostic
School of Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications
The purpose of this session is to explore middle grades mathematics teachers’ perceptions of and experiences using manipulatives to prove mathematics topics. Participants will reason with manipulatives and collaboratively reflect on ways to promote reasoning and proof during preservice coursework.
Proving Operations With Numbers By Using Manipulatives, Jonathan Bostic
Proving Operations With Numbers By Using Manipulatives, Jonathan Bostic
School of Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications
We will explore number theory topics found in the Common Core State Standards and discuss ways to support student engagement in proof and reasoning. Participants will create proofs for operations with numbers by using manipulatives such as Unifix cubes and base-ten blocks. I will share implications for mathematics teacher educators and teachers.
