Welcome to the grand capstone, the top of the heap, Where my journey in social work isn’t just a small leap. It's a compendium, a collection, oh, what a view, Of all that I’ve learned and all that I do. It’s a culminating circus of knowledge so vast, From the first class I took to the very last. Ethics, practice, and justice, oh my, All woven together under one big sky.

Mathematical Understanding Based On The Mathematical Connections Made By Mexican High School Students Regarding Linear Equations And Functions, Javier Garcia-Garcia

The Mathematics Enthusiast

The aim of this research was to analyze the level of mathematical understanding based on the mathematical connections made by a group of Mexican High School students when solving mathematical tasks related to the concepts of equation and linear function. The study employed the thinking aloud method to collect data, whereby students verbalized their thought processes while solving three mathematical tasks, followed by answering some final questions. The collected data were analyzed using a simplified version of thematic analysis based on a preliminary framework adopted in this research. The findings revealed that students demonstrated different levels of mathematical understanding depending …

An Analytical Framework For Making Sense Of Students’ Graphical Representations With Attention To Frames Of Reference And Coordinate Systems, Hwa Young Lee

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Graph literacy, the ability to interpret and create graphical representations, is an important skill for students to learn mathematics and to succeed in STEM coursework and careers. Additionally, with the rapid development of technological devices and media, students are encountering increasingly more situations in which graph literacy is needed to make sense of and respond to information. In this paper, I present a conceptual analysis of what I consider the three layers constituting a graphical representation: frames of reference, coordinate system, and graph. Relatedly, I synthesize relevant literature and propose an analytical framework that could be used to make sense …

Allocating Recreation With Fairness At The Forefront: A Research-Based Planning And Management Guidebook, Kelsey E. Phillips, William L. Rice, Christopher A. Armatas, Nick Pitas, Suiwen (Sharon) Zou

Society and Conservation Faculty Publications

This guidebook aims to help recreation managers think through the nuances of distributing recreation opportunities with fairness and equity in the forefront and provide a recommended framework for allocation design in a river context. The information in this guidebook is supported by a systematic review of the recreation management literature, as well as qualitative interview data from 50 recreation managers across the U.S. We also explore the primary concerns of managers regarding allocation, user groups and stakeholders that must be engaged throughout the process, and allocation strategies that have gone well and poorly. We consider the pros and cons of …

Expressing Distance In Graphs Of Functions In The Cartesian Plane: Obstacles And Interventions, Erika David Parr, Samuel Lippe

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Connecting algebraic and graphical representations encompasses a large portion of mathematical activity for students in grades 8-14. In Calculus, the ability to represent distances on graphs using algebraic expressions is foundational for a wide range of results. However, research has shown that students may struggle to make such connections. In this article, we seek to answer the following questions: (1) What are the underlying conceptions critical to expressing distances on graphs of functions algebraically? and (2) What types of tasks may support students in developing this skill? We first offer a conceptual analysis of the connections between algebraic expressions and …

Connecting Representations And Ways Of Thinking About Slope From Algebra To Calculus, Deborah Moore-Russo, Courtney Nagle

The Mathematics Enthusiast

While slope is a topic in the algebra curriculum, having a robust understanding of slope is needed for students to truly understand several single and multivariable calculus topics with any depth. We begin with a review of the topic of slope and present what is known from its existing corpus of literature. We then outline the tenets of APOS theory. Building from there, we suggest what a robust, flexible understanding of slope involves, as well as how slope is used, with the APOS-slope framework acting as a theoretical lens. This is followed by the cases of two hypothetical students built …

Fostering Students’ Development Of Productive Representation Systems For Infinite Series, Derek Eckman, Kyeong Hah Roh

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Students’ development of reasoning through algebraic symbols is a crucial component of most mathematics courses. This paper reports the journey of one second-semester calculus student, Cedric, as he attempted to reason about and create algebraic representations for arbitrary partial sums and infinite series through two exploratory teaching interviews. We report Cedric’s symbolizing activity in terms of Eckman's (2023) expression framework, focusing on Cedric’s development and attribution of meaning to a personal expression template for denoting partial sums and series. Specifically, we describe how Cedric leveraged his initial meanings for partial sums to create personal expressions to reason about infinite series. …
