2. 6. Designing for the incorporation of programming in mathematical education : Programming as an instrument for mathematical problem solving

   Author : Andreas Borg; Kenneth Ruthven; Maria Fahlgren; Chantal Buteau; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; math; upper secondary; problem solving; programming; coding; instrument; instrumental genesis; education; mathematics education; scheme; matematik; skola; utbildning; problemlösning; programmering; kodning; instrument; instrumental genes; utbildning; matematikdidaktik; schema; Pedagogiskt arbete; Educational Work; Matematikdidaktik; Mathematics didactics;

   Abstract : This study explored Swedish upper secondary school students’ use of programming for mathematical purposes. The aim of the study was to investigate the process through which students learn how to use a programming environment as a technical artefact during mathematical problem solving and how the orchestration of such learning situations could facilitate this process.

4. 7. Early Elementary School Interventions in Reading and Mathematics

   Author : Hanna Lindström-Sandahl; Henrik Danielsson; Stefan Samuelsson; Åsa Elwér; Joakim Samuelsson; Karin Landerl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intervention; Special education; Instruction; Reading; Mathematics; Randomized controlled study; Follow-up; Elementary school; Intervention; Specialpedagogik; Undervisning; Läsning; Matematik; Randomiserad kontrollerad studie; Uppföljning; Grundskola;

   Abstract : Supplemental special education support in reading and mathematics is essential for some children who struggle to learn basic reading or mathematics skills in their first years of schooling. Previous research shows that supplemental phonics and early numeracy and arithmetic instruction help students at risk for reading or mathematics difficulties. READ MORE

5. 8. Inference in Temporal Graphical Models

   Author : Jonas Hallgren; Timo Koski; Dubhashi Devdatt; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

   Abstract : This thesis develops mathematical tools used to model and forecast different economic phenomena. The primary starting point is the temporal graphical model. Four main topics, all with applications in finance, are studied. READ MORE

6. 9. Magnitude Processing in Developmental Dyscalculia : A Heterogeneous Learning Disability with Different Cognitive Profiles

   Author : Kenny Skagerlund; Ulf Träff; Thomas Karlsson; Bert De Smedt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Developmental Dyscalculia; mathematical learning disabilities; number sense; Dyskalkyli; matematiksvårigheter; antalsuppfattning;

   Abstract : Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disability that is characterized by severe difficulties with acquiring age-appropriate mathematical skills that cannot be attributed to insufficient education, language skills, or motivation. The prevalence rate is estimated at 3-6%, meaning that a substantial portion of the population struggles to learn mathematics to such a large degree that it affects overall well-being and academic prospects.

7. 10. Proof-related reasoning in upper secondary mathematics textbooks : Characteristics, comparisons, and conceptualizations

   Author : Andreas Bergwall; Andreas Ryve; Kimmo Eriksson; Kristina Juter; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics textbook; upper secondary school; proof-related reasoning; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : Proofs and proving are difficult to learn and difficult to teach. A common problem is that many students use specific examples as evidence for general statements. Difficulties with proofs are also part of the transition problems that exist between secondary and tertiary schooling in mathematics. READ MORE
