51- How Do Middle-Grades Teachers Recognize Proportional Relationships?

Tuesday, April 16, 2013: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Rooms 205/207 (Colorado Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Andrew Izsak
Co-speakers:
Sybilla Beckmann , Erik Jacobson , Chandra Orrill and James Burke
Discussant:
Patrick Thompson


Description of Presentation:

We bring together a new mathematical analysis of proportional relationships and three empirical studies. The analysis highlights two definitions of ratio. The empirical studies, each from a different project, examine when middle-grades teachers are more and less successful in making appropriate determinations about proportionality.
