The Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching of First Year Mathematics Graduate Teaching Assistants : The Case of Exponential Functions

Creator:: Keeling, Matthew
Abstract:: A teacher's mathematical knowledge for teaching has been shown to have a positive correlation with their students' success (Monk, 1994). So, when half of the students that start out in a STEM major switch out to a non-STEM major before graduation to in large part to instructors pedagogical methods and...

Listing as a Potential Connection between Sets of Outcomes and Counting Processes

Creator:: Erickson, Sarah A.
Abstract:: Counting problems are rich in opportunities for students to make meaningful mathematical connections and develop non-algorithmic thinking; their accessible nature and applications to computer science make counting problems a valuable part of mathematics curricula. However, students struggle in various ways with counting, and while previous studies have indicated that listing...

Investigating Provers' Understandings of Combinatorial Proof

Creator:: Erickson, Sarah A.
Abstract:: Enumerative combinatorics is an area of mathematics that is both highly accessible for students and widely applicable to other sciences and areas of mathematics (Kapur, 1970; Lockwood, Wasserman, & Tillema, 2020). One important class of problems in combinatorics is combinatorial proofs of binomial identities, which is a type of proof...
