Presentation: Coordinating Multiple Representations Skills in Reform Calculus (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2013 Research Presession)

Monday, April 15, 2013: 5:30 PM-6:45 PM

Lobby A (Colorado Convention Center)

Lead Speaker:

Jennifer Cromley

Co-speakers:

Briana Chang and Theodore W Wills

Description of Presentation:

Both reform approaches to teaching calculus and the NCTM Standards call for coordinating multiple representations (CMR) skills. We coded CMR types in one reform textbook by using Janvier’s 4 × 4 grid. Different CMR types were represented in different chapters, as well as between explanation portions and student exercises.
