Mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction

This paper aims at giving a concise survey of the present state-of-the-art of mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction. It will consist of four parts. In part 1, some basic concepts relevant to the topic will be clarified and, in particular, mathematical modelling will be defined in a broad, comprehensive sense. Part 2 will review arguments for the inclusion of modelling ...

Concept Formation in Mathematics

This thesis consists of three overlapping parts, where the first one centers around the possibility of defining a measure of the power of arithmetical theories. In this part a partial measure of the power of arithmetical theories is constructed, where “power” is understood as capability to prove theorems. It is also shown that other suggestions in the literature for such a measure do not satisf...

Mathematics Instruction for Young Children

Abstract Unfortunately, according to the United States of America Department of Education (2009), the mathematic achievement level for eighth grade students has continued to decline since the year of 1996. In an effort to improve achievement levels in the critical skill area of mathematics, researchers have suggested that immersion in mathematics at the Pre – K level is necessary, and that it i...
