Title: The Impact of Mathematically Captivating Learning Experiences
Secondary students do not often have positive experiences with mathematics. To address this challenge, this paper shares findings of a design-based research project in which a mathematical story framework was used to design mathematically captivating lesson experiences (“MCLEs”). We provide evidence that designing lessons as mathematical stories shows promise. That is, students reported improved experiences in MCLEs when compared to randomly-selected lessons. The MCLEs also impacted the students’ descriptions of their experience.  more » « less

    The positive relationship between students’ attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics achievement is well documented. Yet there is a worsening problem of low appeal of mathematics especially at the secondary level. Therefore, in this paper we focus on three high school students who report a strong dislike of mathematics. By analyzing student surveys, interviews, and lesson observation data, we examined how some mathematical lessons improved these students’ experiences (i.e., their aesthetic dimensions). We found that while student preferences varied, each student was interested in lessons that centered them as sense-makers and in which the content unfolded with suspense. Such lessons led to positive aesthetic responses such as surprise, curiosity, and satisfaction. Thus, lessons can be designed in which even students with the most negative views of mathematics can find mathematical concepts interesting.

    How does the design of lessons impact the types of questions teachers and students ask during enacted high school mathematics lessons? In this study, we present data that suggests that lessons designed with the mathematical story framework to elicit a specific aesthetic response (“MCLEs”) having a positive influence on the types of teacher and student questions they ask during the lesson. Our findings suggest that when teachers plan and enact lessons with the mathematical story framework, teachers and students are more likely to ask questions that explore mathematical relationships and focus on meaning making. In addition, teachers are less likely to ask short recall or procedural questions in MCLEs. These findings point to the role of lesson design in the quality of questions asked by teachers and students.

    Interdisciplinary STEM education is a pedagogical approach that allows students to understand the interconnectedness of the disciplines of STEM. The interdisciplinary approach introduces problem-based learning, cooperative learning, expands problem-solving skills, and introduces students to the use of engineering design. Tinkercad is a visual computing tool that models mathematical and scientific concepts and support interdisciplinary STEM learning and experiences. In this session, participants will explore Tinkercad in the context of middle school curriculum. Free, accessible lessons that highlight the use of Tinkercad in the middle school classroom will be shared from our project. Participants will explore the gravity feature and ways to use this feature to explore mathematical and scientific concepts.

    How can we design mathematical lessons that spark student interest? To answer this, we analyzed teacher-designed and enacted lessons that students described as interesting for how the content unfolded. When compared to those the same students describe as uninteresting, multiple distinguishing characteristics are evident, such as the presence of misdirection, mathematical questions that remain unanswered for extended time, and a greater number of questions that are unanswered at each point of the lesson. Low-interest lessons did not contain many special narrative features and mostly had questions that were answered immediately. Our findings offer guidance for the design of lessons that can shift student mathematical dispositions.

    Why do some mathematics lessons captivate high school students and others not? This study explores this question by comparing how the content unfolds in the lessons that students rated highest with respect to their aesthetic affordances (e.g., using terms like “intriguing,” “surprising”) with those the same students rated lowest with respect to their aesthetic affordances (e.g., “just ok,” “dull”). Using a framework that interprets the unfolding content across a lesson as a mathematical story, we examine how some lessons can provoke curiosity or enable surprise. We identify eight characteristics that distinguish captivating lessons and show how some, such as the average number of questions under consideration at any point in the lesson, are strongly related to student aesthetic experiences. In addition, the lessons that students described as more interesting included more instances of misdirection, such as when students’ false assumptions provide opportunities for surprising results. These findings point to the characteristics of future lesson designs that could enable more students to experience curiosity and wonder in secondary mathematics classrooms.
