Sentence examples for mathematical instruction from inspiring English sources

In recent years, interest in integrating problem posing in mathematical instruction has continuously grown among mathematics education researchers and practitioners (Norman 2011; Ellerton 2013; Singer et al. 2015; Cai and Jiang 2016).

Mathematical instruction often involves making connections between two or more representations (e.g., an equation and a graph).

Research suggests that we think about numbers as organized in space along a mental 'number line' (Dehaene, Bossini & Giraux, 1993; Ito & Hatta, 2004), and that this mapping is independent from formal mathematical instruction (de Hevia & Spelke, 2009).

So they brought in some complexity scientists, who said, "Well, you know, an ant colony is a good model for this, because they have to deal with complexity in their environment and they've evolved some behaviours that we have been able to translate into algorithms" – in other words mathematical instructions.

Likewise, as researchers learn more about which bundles of neurons are firing, they can update the algorithms, or mathematical instructions, that underlie the communication between the brain and the prosthetic device.

Like the modular sculptures, they are composed from precise sets of logical, often mathematical instructions that anyone could be trained to execute.

Implications for understanding mathematical development and designing early mathematics instruction are discussed.

During mathematics instruction, teachers often make connections between different representations of mathematical information, and they sometimes use gestures to refer to the representations that they link.
