Analisis Buku Matematika Sekolah Menengah Atas Pada Topik Turunan

This study is a textbook analysis based on the view that textbook is a crucial aspect which should be recognized in the process of education development. Derivative topic covered on Indonesian eleventh grade’s mathematics textbook from 2008 to 2017 was chosen to be anlyzed. Furthermore, this study attempted to provide a picture of how the mathematics textbooks covered the topics. The analysis of four textbooks: 2017, 2014, 2009, and 2008 textbooks, was carried out by applying conceptual framework and “mathematical story” theory derived from literary theory. The result showed that the 2008 book had the widest range of contexts involved in derivative concept explanation. Meanwhile, all of the books were lack of discussion on derivative as a function within graph, verbal, and physics contexts. Furthermore, the narrative analysis showed that the 2017 and 2014 textbooks provide the most promising “mathematical story” for fostering reader’s curiosity. In addition, the 2017 and 2014 book also offered more multifaceted lesson in comparison with the other textbooks.

The effect of language modification of mathematics story problems on problem-solving in online homework

Students’ grasp of the non-mathematical language in a mathematics story problem—such as vocabulary and syntax—may have an important effect on their problem-solving, and this may be particularly true for students with weaker language skills. However, little experimental research has examined which individual language features influence students’ performance while solving problems—much research has been correlational or has combined language features together. In the present study, we manipulated six different language features of algebra story problems—number of sentences, pronouns, word concreteness, word hypernymy, consistency of sentences, and problem topic—and examined how systematically varying readability demands impacts student performance. We examined both accuracy and response time measures, using an assignment for learning linear functions in the ASSISTments online problem-solving environment. We found little evidence that individual language features have a considerable effect on mathematics word problem solving performance for a general population of students. However, sentence consistency reduced response time and problems about motion or travel had shorter response times than problems about business or work. In addition, it appears students may benefit or be harmed by language modifications depending on their familiarity with ASSISTments. Implications for the role of language in math word problems are discussed.

Stories of Mathematical Resilience: How Some Adult Learners Overcame Affective Barriers

Some non-traditional adult learners in higher education lack mathematics qualifications, have had negative experiences of mathematics in the past, feel anxious about mathematics, lack confidence, or protect themselves by avoiding the subject. As part of a widening participation initiative, a lifelong learning centre at a large university in England developed a programme of free mathematics lessons for these learners. This paper discusses the findings from a small-scale narrative study which analysed the mathematical stories of four of these learners. The research found that, although previous feelings about mathematics lingered, participants overcame their emotional barriers to learning mathematics with sensitive support from others, specific teaching and learning strategies, and by increasing their mathematical resilience. They were able to move away from feeling frightened of mathematics, to persevere and feel more comfortable with it. The notion of perezhivanie (Vygotsky, 1994) was used to conceptualise the barriers created by past, strong emotional experiences and developing ability to manage the associated feelings.

The plot thickens: The aesthetic dimensions of a captivating mathematics lesson

We present an analysis of a sixth-grade mathematics lesson in which an aesthetically-rich moment of mathematical surprise, inspired by a decontextualized integer addition problem, spurred students to ask mathematical questions and actively sustain inquiry into the lesson’s central ideas. In order to understand how the unfolding mathematical content enabled this moment, we interpret the lesson as a mathematical story. Using this narrative framework, we describe the aesthetic dimensions of the story including its plot, density, coherence, and rhythm, and connect them to the unfolding mathematical content. This analysis demonstrates how these aesthetic elements of a lesson can be recognized and how they help explain the students’ productive engagement. This framework offers a potential tool for researchers and practitioners who seek to understand, design, and enact captivating mathematical experiences.

Shaping Mathematics into Stories by means of Propp’s Narratemes

For a few decades now, scholars have tried to make mathematics education more meaningful and motivating by using narratives. However, there still remains a gap between the theory of narratives and classroom practice. In this paper we provide two design heuristics for teachers by which to bridge this gap. We discuss Dietiker’s mathematical story framework, based on narratology, and present a design heuristic based on this framework by which to design mathematical stories. We extend this heuristic on the basis of the work of the Russian formalist Vladimir Propp, who analyzed Russian folktales. He found that 31 irreducible narrative elements, called functions or narratemes, can be distinguished. We exemplify our heuristics by means of two mathematical stories, one of which concerns Kepler’s conjecture. The value of this approach is that it provides mathematics teachers with a heuristic story framework that is suitable for designing or redesigning mathematical stories.

Does it matter how Molly does it? Person-presentation of strategies and transfer in mathematics

Educational materials often present general concepts or strategies via specific people. Although this practice may enhance interest, it may also have costs for learning and transfer. Linking a strategy to a person (e.g., “Molly’s strategy”) could result in narrower transfer because students infer that the strategy is specific to the person, rather than a general strategy they should adopt. The present study tested this hypothesis among middle school students (N=191) who learned a novel strategy for solving a mathematics story problem. For some students, the strategy example was presented via a specific person, and for others it was not. Students then solved posttest problems and rated the generality of the strategy. Students who saw the example without the person were more likely to transfer the strategy to new problems, and this effect was mediated by students’ perceptions of the strategy’s generality. Thus, associating information with a person substantially limits the extent to which students transfer their knowledge.

ASSOCIATING MATHEMATICAL STORIES THAT ARE WRITTEN BY THE 8TH GRADE STUDENTS WHO ARE STUDYING AT ADVANTAGEOUS AND DISADVANTAGEOUS REGIONS' SCHOOLS WITH THEIR MATHEMATICAL PERCEPTIONS: ISTANBUL CASE

In this study, mathematical stories written by 50 middle school students were analyzed. The study group consisted of two different student groups who were living in advantageous and disadvantageous regions in Istanbul. At first stage, students were presented a mathematical story called “My Fractal Tree”, then told about what mathematical story was and asked to write a mathematical story about any subjects. 43 of stories have story characteristics. The stories were separately analyzed under headings of involving a mathematical subject, having mathematical characteristics or not and the math topics students used in their stories. The findings about contents of stories were analyzed on 4 main themes; Mathematics’ relations with other subjects, Perceptions towards mathematics, Mathematical level and Creativity. Students can be seen to have mentioned about math’s relations with other subjects. Students’ abilities to use mathematical elements correctly are quite low, their learning about concepts is weak and their misconceptions are too high. Generally, a very plain language is seen in stories in terms of language expression, but transitions between topics seem weak. Considering creativity element in students’ writings, advantageous group was seen to have created highly creative stories. Article visualizations:
