Fractions as the Coordination of Multiplicatively Related Quantities: A Cross-Sectional Study of Children's Thinking
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed children's coordination of two quantities (number of people sharing and number of things being shared) in their solutions to equal sharing problems and to see to what extent this coordination was multiplicative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teachers' Knowledge of Children's Mathematics after Implementing a Student-Centered Curriculum
Susan B. Empson,Debra L. Junk +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the knowledge 13elementary teachers gained implementing a knowledge-centered curriculum in the context ofdistrictwide reform, finding that teachers' knowledge of nonstandard strategiessupported by the curriculum materials was strongerer and more coherent than their knowledge of students' novel nonstandard strategies.

Walking the Talk: Lessons Learned by University Mathematics Methods Instructors Implementing Lesson Study for Their Own Professional Development
Michael Kamen,Debra L. Junk,Stephen Marble,Sandra Cooper,Colleen M. Eddy,Trena L. Wilkerson,Cameron Sawyer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, seven university professors participated in lesson study of their own mathematics methods teaching and presented a research lesson four times in elementary mathematics methods classes and a fifth time as a public research lesson at a national mathematics education conference.
The Power of Paper- Folding Tasks: Supporting Multiplicative Thinking and Rich Mathematical Discussion
TL;DR: A particular task—paper folding—is focused on and its potential to address both challenges: supporting the development of multiplicative thinking and facilitating discussion of mathematical problems for all students is described.
