Theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning
No full textWith the growth in interest in geometrical ideas it is important to be clear about the nature of geometrical reasoning and how it develops. This paper provides an overview of three theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning: the van Hiele model of thinking in geometry, Fischbein’s theory of figural concepts, and Duval’s cognitive model of geometrical reasoning. Each of these frameworks provides theoretical resources to support research into the development of geometrical reasoning in students and related aspects of visualisation and construction. This overview concludes that much research about the deep process of the development and the learning of visualisation and reasoning is still needed
Ann Jones
No full textAnn was born to William Thomas Jones and his wife Mary Ann nee Elliott. Ann moved with her father, brothers and sisters, Emily, Ada and Marion Pinder, to Palmerston in November 1890 when her father was appointed Sub-Inspector of Customs to succeed Alfred Searcy. Her mother had died in 1881. Her father died suddenly in December 1891 and is buried in the Palmerston Cemetery, but the sisters stayed together.
In 1895, when Ann was 34, she was one of the 82 women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. Her occupation was listed as "spinster". However, she had employment as a domestic according to later roll listings. She was taken off the roll again in 1907 because she had left Palmerston. Ann died at 76 in Queensland in 1934.Community Servic
The shaping of student knowledge: learning with dynamic geometry software
No full textThe focus of this paper is a software genre usually referred to as ‘dynamic geometry’ because of the ability of the user to dynamically manipulate geometrical figures created with the software tool. Using data from a longitudinal study of 12-13 students’ use of dynamic geometry software, the focus of the analysis is on the interpretations the students make of geometrical objects and relationships when using this form of software. The analysis suggests that the students’ mathematical reasoning is shaped by their interactions with the software in that their ability to explain geometrical facts and relationships evolves from imprecise, ‘everyday’ expressions, through reasoning that is overtly mediated by the software environment, to mathematical explanations of the geometric situation that transcend the particular tool being used. Such findings suggest that curriculum initiatives that encourage the use of dynamic geometry software are appropriate but that the incorporation of such software into classroom practices is unlikely to be straightforward

Holzapfel certifying that Lieutenant junior grade Edgar Jones has completed a period of training and service during World War II in the navy from June 17, 1943 to January 13, 1946 and is released to inactive duty
The mediation of mathematical learning through the use of pedagogical tools: a sociocultural analysis
No full textA sociocultural analysis suggests that pedagogical artifacts employed in the teaching and learning of mathematics both enable and constrain learning. This paper summarises three classroom studies of mathematics learning that have utilised a sociocultural approach. Each of the studies indicates how insight can be gained into the ways in which students attempt to make sense of the mathematics they encounter
