Integrating Manipulatives To Improve Fraction Concepts, Rachel Dunn
Integrating Manipulatives To Improve Fraction Concepts, Rachel Dunn
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
Many students are overwhelmed by mathematics because the language is too difficult, the teaching strategies are insufficient or they have lost motivation. With a recent emphasis on meeting the Common Core expectations, using manipulatives to eliminate misconceptions in the mathematical classroom has become even more prevalent. I explored the misconceptions that many students struggle with and provided possible methods of eliminating them at all levels for learning. During this investigation, I studied the effect of manipulatives on students’ understanding of fraction concepts and the students’ conceptions of the unit of reference when working with fraction word problems. I learned that …

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The University of Georgia has implemented several strategies focused on improving instruction and student achievement in STEM courses and assisting in the preparation and professional development of K-12 science and math teachers. Specific activities include a mini-grants program, learning communities, pre-service teacher recruitment, expanding Project FOCUS, and increasing faculty effort to improve instruction and student learning in the STEM disciplines.

Building, Refining & Defining Stem Learning Outcomes: K-16 Implications, Richard A. Duschl
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The July 2012 release of the National Research Council Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Core Ideas heralds ‘a new vision of science in education.’ The Framework sets out a comprehensive agenda for the reform of science and engineering education coordinated around 3 Dimensions: Science & Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas. While the Framework’s central mission is to impact K-12 education through implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards, there are important but less understood implications for higher education, informal science education and publics’ understandings of science communication efforts. In this talk, I will provide …

Supporting Pre-Service Primary Teachers To Improve Their Mathematics Content Knowledge, Brenda Hamlett

"When someone is told that their performance is not up to a required standard, there can be a tendency to react negatively and to lose confidence. Some deal with this by ignoring or withdrawing from the stressful situation while others face the issue and work to improve. The delivery of the first year unit Becoming Multiliterate as part of the BEd (Primary) and BEd (Early Childhood Studies) courses at Edith Cowan University entailed students completing diagnostic tasks in mathematics, writing and science at the start of the semester to identify their weaknesses. Students were then provided with targeted support to …

Paper 2: The Mathematics Teacher Educator's Reflection On Edtpa: The Basics And The Complexity Of Georgia's Implementation, Woong Lim, Lynn Stallings
Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (GAMTE) Annual Conference
Beginning in fall 2015, Georgia will require that all teacher candidates pass the edTPA, a performance-based assessment, as a requirement for initial certification. With the potential to impact teacher preparation programs in a profound way, the questions and issues related to the implementation of edTPA merit some critical reflection. In this article, we introduce the brief history of the instrument and review the basics of edTPA with a particular interest in middle grades mathematics. Furthermore, drawing upon our experience with edTPA during a pilot program and the extensive knowledge base of edTPA rubrics and scoring process, we present issues related …
