Spatial depth for data in metric spaces

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a novel measure of statistical depth, the metric spatial depth, for data residing in an arbitrary metric space. The measure assigns high (low) values for points located near (far away from) the bulk of the data distribution, allowing quantifying their centrality/outlyingness.

Image of mathematics: A case study of two women's early mathematics experiences

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract People often view mathematics as abstract, cold, and irrelevant to real life, and their school experiences likely influence such views. In this case study, we investigated the mathematics experiences of two women who participated in an afterschool girls‐only STEM club 30 years ago when they were in fifth and sixth grades.

Function Art: Linking Mathematics, Technology, and Visual Arts

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated students' understanding of mathematical functions and strategies to create artwork using GeoGebra. It was framed by the principles of constructionism and examined how students use functions in creating artworks. We gathered data from students' artworks using the Algebra view and the Construction Protocol in the GeoGebra

Follow Me Into Math: Near‐Peer Influencers Take the Stage

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Young people like to be entertained, and to entertain others. What if students were to invest enough of their time and effort into learning topics from our mathematics courses to become experts in the eyes of their peers? In this study we positioned college students and high school students as mathematical performers on the stage in front of ...

Changing Attitudes: Strengthening Mathematical Self‐Efficacy in Preservice Elementary Teachers

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined how participating in an elementary mathematics methods course influenced preservice teachers' developing mathematical identities, both as learners and as future mathematics educators. Specifically, the researchers sought to understand how the course structure, which emphasized discourse, hands‐on experiences, and practicum ...
