Equations and the Equal Sign in Elementary Mathematics Textbooks [PDF]
To promote a relational understanding of the equal sign (=), students may require exposure to a variety of equation types (i.e., 3 = 8 - 5; 2 + 3 = 1 + 4; 9 - 3 = 6). The purpose of this study was to evaluate 8 elementary curricula for degree of exposure to equation types.

Usability of American Sign Language Videos for Presenting Mathematics Assessment Content. [PDF]
There is considerable interest in determining whether high-quality American Sign Language videos can be used as an accommodation in tests of mathematics at both K-12 and postsecondary levels; and in learning more about the usability (e.g., comprehensibility) of ASL videos with two different types of signers - avatar (animated figure) and human.

Framework for the natures of negativity in introductory physics [PDF]
Mathematical reasoning skills are a desired outcome of many introductory physics courses, particularly calculus-based physics courses. Novices can struggle to understand the many roles signed numbers play in physics contexts, and recent evidence shows ...

Sign Language in Light of Mathematics Education: An Exploration Within Semiotic and Embodiment Theories of Learning Mathematics [PDF]
:Research rarely focuses on how deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students address mathematical ideas. Complexities involved in using sign language (SL) in mathematics classrooms include not just challenges, but opportunities that accompany mathematics ...

Student Understanding of the Sign of Negative Definite Integrals in Mathematics and Physics
In a study of student understanding of negative definite integrals at two institutions, we administered a written survey and follow-up clinical interviews at one institution and found that “backward integrals”, where the integral was taken from right to ...

Students' Understanding of The Equal Sign Based on Their Learning Experience in Arithmetic
The equal sign is an important concept in learning mathematics karena it is used in almost all branches of mathematics, but not many studies in Indonesia have made the equal sign the focus of research.

Dissipative Euler Flows for Vortex Sheet Initial Data without Distinguished Sign [PDF]
We construct infinitely many admissible weak solutions to the 2D incompressible Euler equations for vortex sheet initial data. Our initial datum has vorticity concentrated on a simple closed curve in a suitable Hölder space and the vorticity may not have
