What is the articles guiding question(s)?
How can these multiple environemnts be used to help students learn mathemaics?
How do students make connections among different environments?
What are the ideas/hypotheses the article will explore?
They propose an alternative way of learning
They want to recognize an environment that connects to mathematical learning.
What can you take away from the article to make your future math classroom successful?
That I must adjust to my students needs in order for them to learn to their greatest ability.
To watch for students that need extra help finding their learning environment and to help guide them in their mathematics problems.
Help students make connections with their learning environment
What do you already know about the article just reading the title? Some initial thoughts.
I know that students learn mathematics in several different environments.
I know that teachers need to be able to adapt to the way that students learn in different environments.
What are the main findings/topics?
Mathematical environments can be lived in places.
It can depend on the students background and experience.
One of the main topics was about researchers showing perspective in family resemblances based on how the student may learn.
Questions I still have after reading this article.
Why don't more teachers focus on making the classroom the best mathematical learning environment?
How can you encourage the multiple environments needed to a student or class?
3-4 sentence summary in my own words.
They wanted to figure out how students learned better in a change of environment. They looked at many different aspects, including family resemblances. They looked at the situation in several different ways, and found that it depended on the students background and lie experience.
