Productive Struggle In Mathematical Modelling, Piera Biccard Feb 2024

Productive Struggle In Mathematical Modelling, Piera Biccard

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Productive struggle is an enigmatic concept in mathematics education. At first glance, the idea may be oxymoronic since the word struggle is not often associated with being productive. The two words may even seem counter-intuitive. The purpose of this article is to analyze productive struggle in the literature in order to better understand some if its essential features. The research method in this study is theoretical and includes a survey of relevant literature in mathematics and modelling education. This study attempts to explain the relationship between productive struggle and learning mathematics. Productive struggle can lead to enhanced mathematics understanding and …


An Active Learning Activity For The Construction Of A Finite-Field Slide Rule For Undergraduate Students, Marco Abrate Feb 2024

An Active Learning Activity For The Construction Of A Finite-Field Slide Rule For Undergraduate Students, Marco Abrate

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Math manipulatives and physical math activities offer numerous benefits in the learning process in all educational levels: they provide concrete representations of abstract concepts, thus helping more students to understand them, and they are an opportunity for students to explore and test their understanding of mathematical concepts. Moreover, in active learning activities conducted with tangible objects, students are physically engaged in the lessons, and are given a fun way to practice their math skills, which contributes with retention and positive feeling.

In this article, an active teaching activity aimed at first-year college students is presented, designed to deepen the understanding …


Importance Of Understanding The Physical System In Selecting Separation Of Variables Based Methods To Solve The Heat Conduction Partial Differential Equation, Laurie A. Florio Feb 2024

Importance Of Understanding The Physical System In Selecting Separation Of Variables Based Methods To Solve The Heat Conduction Partial Differential Equation, Laurie A. Florio

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Separation of variables is a common method for producing an analytical based solution to partial differential equations. Despite the wide application of this method, often the physical phenomena described by the differential equations are not adequately involved in the discourse over the appropriate methods to solve a given problem, particularly in mathematics curricula. However, as mathematics is the tool to better understanding of the physical world, the meaning of the differential equation, boundary conditions, and initial conditions cannot be detached from the methods used to solve the differential equations. Failure to recognize the physical conditions being studied can lead to …


The Spirit Of Mathematical Modeling – A Philosophical Study On The Occasion Of 50 Years Of Mathematical Modeling Education, Peter Frejd, Pauline Vos Feb 2024

The Spirit Of Mathematical Modeling – A Philosophical Study On The Occasion Of 50 Years Of Mathematical Modeling Education, Peter Frejd, Pauline Vos

The Mathematics Enthusiast

We mark the 50th anniversary of mathematical modeling education by reviving the term the spirit of mathematical modeling (SoMM), which idealistically reflects core aspects of mathematical modeling. The basis of our analysis is the notion of bildung, which is an educational philosophy that strives for harmonizing heart, mind, social life and culture. We built SoMM on five descriptions of mathematical modeling: two research studies from the 1970s, two studies about the work of professional modelers, and one about an environmental school project. We captured SoMM as a collection of aspects at the micro, meso and macro level: at the micro …
