Notations are essential for mathematics, mathematical logic, and many other disciplines. In order for them to be used, they have to be learned and understood, which is relative to the perceptual and cognitive resources of their users. However, most reflections about the design of notations have not taken into consideration the diversity of possible users. In recent years, various groups of people have been identified who exhibit specific strengths and challenges with regard to the reading and processing of written information. This gives us the opportunity to reflect on how particular choices in the design of mathematical and logical notations can hinder and support the ease of reading and understanding for neurodiverse groups of students.
符号对于数学、数理逻辑和许多其他学科都是必不可少的。为了让它们被使用,它们必须被学习和理解,这与它们的用户的感知和认知资源有关。然而,大多数关于符号设计的思考都没有考虑到可能用户的多样性。近年来,人们发现不同的人群在阅读和处理书面信息方面表现出特定的优势和挑战。这让我们有机会反思数学和逻辑符号设计中的特定选择如何阻碍和支持神经多样性学生群体的阅读和理解。

Understanding the cognitive challenges students experience in proofs-based mathematics courses is a necessary precursor for supporting them in meeting those challenges. We report on results from a pair of clinical interviews with each of seven STEM majors enrolled in an introductory proofs course. We investigate the epistemological obstacles they experienced in interaction with the interviewer and how those experiences might relate to their treatment of logical implications as actions, objects, or pseudo-objects. We share profiles for each of the seven students, characterizing their treatment of logical implications and their experiences of related epistemological obstacles. These profiles indicate marked differences between epistemological obstacles experienced during interactions with students who treat logical implications as objects, versus actions or pseudo-objects. Results suggest that proof-based mathematics courses should focus centrally on supporting students’ constructions of logical implications as mathematical objects.
了解学生在基于证明的数学课程中遇到的认知挑战是支持他们应对这些挑战的必要前提。我们报告了对参加入门证明课程的七名STEM专业学生进行的一对临床访谈的结果。我们调查了他们在与面试官互动时所经历的认识论障碍,以及这些经验如何与他们将逻辑含义作为行动、对象或伪对象的处理联系起来。我们分享了七个学生的简介,描述了他们对逻辑含义的处理以及他们对相关认识论障碍的经历。这些资料表明,在与将逻辑含义视为对象的学生的互动中,与将动作或伪对象视为对象的学生的互动中,所经历的认识论障碍之间存在显著差异。结果表明,基于证明的数学课程应重点支持学生将逻辑含义作为数学对象的构建。

This paper aims to describe mathematics teaching at the Victoriaschule in Gdańsk during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. Although Gdańsk is currently located in Poland, during the period under consideration it was part of Prussian Poland, which refers to the Polish lands under Prussian rule, and it was formerly known as Danzig. The Victoriaschule was established in 1818 and, three years later, became the first public secondary school for girls in Gdańsk. In the latter half of the 19th century, a teachers’ seminary was also opened there. By the early 20th century, due to the efforts of the then-director, a real gymnasium for girls began operation, allowing students to take matriculation exams and pursue university studies. It became one of the best educational institutions for girls in Prussian Poland. This paper will compare mathematics teaching at the Victoriaschule with that in similar schools for boys and other selected girls’ schools operating at the same time in Prussian Poland, including institutions in Bydgoszcz, Grudziądz, Toruń, Malbork, and Kwidzyn. The analysis will focus on curricula, ministerial orders, school textbooks, and the initiatives of individual school reformers.
本文旨在描述在19世纪下半叶和20世纪初在Gdańsk维多利亚大学的数学教学。虽然Gdańsk目前位于波兰,但在审议期间,它是普鲁士波兰的一部分,指的是普鲁士统治下的波兰土地,它以前被称为但泽。维多利亚中学成立于1818年,三年后成为Gdańsk第一所公立女子中学。在19世纪下半叶,这里还开办了一所师范学院。到20世纪初,由于当时的校长的努力,一个真正的女子体育馆开始运作,允许学生参加入学考试和大学学习。它成为普鲁士波兰最好的女孩教育机构之一。本文将比较维多利亚中学的数学教学与类似的男孩学校和其他在普鲁士波兰同时运营的选定的女孩学校的数学教学,包括比得哥什、Grudziądz、托鲁奇、马尔堡和科维津的机构。分析将集中在课程、长官命令、学校教科书、个别学校改革方案等方面。

This paper reviews the process of introducing mathematics education in girls’ secondary schools in Prussia, the largest German state at that time, from 1890 to 1925. This period of the German Empire and the subsequent Weimar Republic is known for its various educational reforms. Our historical analysis focuses on the purposes, new teaching tasks, and methods of mathematics education for girls in comparison with an extensive reform of mathematics education for boys, the so-called “Meran Reform” of 1905. Progress and obstacles on the way to equal educational opportunities for girls in mathematics are highlighted, including the development of new teaching methods and structural disadvantages.
本文回顾了1890年至1925年德国最大的州普鲁士在女子中学引入数学教育的过程。这一时期的德意志帝国和随后的魏玛共和国以其各种教育改革而闻名。我们的历史分析集中在女生数学教育的目的、新的教学任务和方法上,并与1905年对男生数学教育的广泛改革进行了比较,即所谓的“梅兰改革”。报告强调了女童在数学教育机会平等方面取得的进展和面临的障碍,包括新教学方法的发展和结构性劣势。

From oral counting to plotting graphs: Advances in girls' math education in the South of Brazil 从口头计数到绘图:巴西南部女孩数学教育的进展
IF 1 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2025-02-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmathb.2025.101239

Throughout the 19th century in southern Brazil, as in the whole country, girls received a poorer mathematical education than boys. Historical records of this education are scarce. The first systematic opportunity for girls to progress beyond basic arithmetic was by pursuing training as elementary school teachers. In the 20th century, several movements converged to reduce inequalities: coeducation became standard in primary schools, secondary education was standardized, and both coeducational and girls’ secondary schools expanded rapidly. The first part of this text presents a systematic review of the sparse records found on mathematical education for girls until 1930. The second part compares school notebooks and the existing curriculum to examine traces of the mathematics studied in a girls' secondary school created in 1948. The regulation and expansion of secondary education allowed girls to study mathematical topics in algebra, deductive geometry, problem-solving, and introductory functions.
整个19世纪,在巴西南部,就像在整个国家一样,女孩接受的数学教育比男孩差。关于这种教育的历史记录很少。女孩第一次有系统地超越基本算术的机会是参加小学教师培训。在20世纪,一些运动汇聚在一起以减少不平等:男女同校成为小学的标准教育,中等教育标准化,男女同校和女子中学都迅速扩大。本文的第一部分提出了一个系统的审查稀疏的记录发现,直到1930年的女孩数学教育。第二部分比较了学校笔记和现有课程,以考察1948年创建的一所女子中学学习数学的痕迹。中学教育的规范和扩展使女孩能够学习代数、演绎几何、解决问题和入门函数等数学主题。

In 1863 the Dutch government introduced subsidized secondary schools, meant for boys, with an emphasis on sciences and mathematics. The question of the need and suitability of mathematics for girls was much debated. Co-education was seen as undesirable, nevertheless, a minority of girls received permission to enroll at the boys' schools. Secondary schools for girls became popular, mostly with a curriculum that emphasized languages and no national examinations. Some girls' schools offered the same curriculum as those of the boys, with the same diploma. After standardization of co-education in 1968, girls came to be perceived as a problem, for not choosing mathematics and sciences. Female mathematics teachers pointed out that probably, the girls were not the problem, but the mathematics curriculum and the way it was taught. This point of view was one of many factors increasing the participation of girls in mathematics.
1863年,荷兰政府推出了针对男孩的补贴中学,重点是科学和数学。关于女孩学习数学的必要性和适用性的问题一直争论不休。男女同校被认为是不受欢迎的,尽管如此,还是有少数女孩获准进入男校就读。女子中学开始流行起来,大多数学校的课程强调语言,没有国家考试。有些女校提供与男校相同的课程,颁发相同的文凭。1968年男女同校标准化后,女生因为不选择数学和科学而被视为问题。女数学老师指出,问题可能不在于女生,而在于数学课程和教学方式。这种观点是增加女孩学习数学的众多因素之一。

A comparative study of the Brearley School and Wadleigh High School in early 20th century New York City 20世纪初纽约市布雷利中学与瓦德利高中的比较研究

This paper offers comparative analysis of mathematics education for girls in two New York City schools during the time from 1890 to 1920, known as the Progressive Era in the United States. During this time, secondary education transitioned from being mostly accessible through private and religious institutions to becoming widely available through public high schools. This expansion led to an unprecedented increase in enrollment and brought several challenges, including the need to adapt curricula to meet the diverse needs of students. Concurrently, changes in labor market demands, particularly in urban areas, underscored the varying educational objectives for girls and boys, driven by the belief that they would have distinct career paths upon graduation. As a result, many educators and policymakers viewed curriculum differentiation as a necessary tool to accommodate students from varied backgrounds. Curriculum differentiation enabled students to choose classes they considered essential, a trend particularly prominent in public schools. In contrast, private schools continued to enroll students who planned to pursue further education after graduation, and therefore, these schools had to maintain their curricular rigor. Wadleigh Public School and Brearley Private School, both girls-only institutions, provide a snapshot of this complexity by highlighting how distinct goals in mathematics education coexisted within the same city at the same time. This paper explores the strengths and challenges faced by both schools, focusing on the purpose of mathematics education, curricular differentiation, and demographic factors affecting girls' enrollment in mathematics classes.
本文对1890年至1920年美国进步时代纽约市两所学校的女生数学教育进行了比较分析。在此期间,中等教育从主要通过私立和宗教机构获得转变为通过公立高中广泛获得。这种扩张导致入学人数空前增加,并带来了一些挑战,包括需要调整课程以满足学生的不同需求。同时,劳动力市场需求的变化,特别是在城市地区,强调了女孩和男孩的不同教育目标,因为人们相信他们毕业后将有不同的职业道路。因此,许多教育工作者和政策制定者将课程差异化视为适应不同背景学生的必要工具。课程差异化使学生能够选择他们认为必要的课程,这一趋势在公立学校尤为突出。相比之下,私立学校继续招收那些打算在毕业后继续深造的学生,因此,这些学校必须保持其课程的严谨性。Wadleigh公立学校和Brearley私立学校都是女子学校,通过强调数学教育的不同目标如何在同一城市同时并存,为这种复杂性提供了一个快照。本文探讨了两所学校的优势和面临的挑战,重点研究了数学教育的目的、课程的差异以及影响女生入读数学班的人口因素。

Development and change in mathematics education for undergraduate women: An examination of the early years of Barnard College 本科女生数学教育的发展与变化:巴纳德学院早期的考察
IF 1 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2025-01-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmathb.2024.101236

This article explores how the mathematics education and educators at the New York, USA women’s college, Barnard College, during its early years approached the issue of equal study on separate campuses as well as how some of the female students of Barnard with a mathematics focus in their studies utilized their knowledge of this male-dominated field to pursue careers following their graduation. Women in the 19th century struggled to earn a degree of equal value to what was available to men, especially when they were excluded from sharing a campus and classes with their male counterparts. When Barnard was founded, higher education for women was a highly controversial issue, especially for institutions with rigorous academic demands. This paper uses archival material from both Barnard and Columbia to explore the mathematics curriculum required of Barnard’s students, why that particular curriculum was selected, and selected faculty and alumnae active in the department during its first 25 years.
本文探讨了美国纽约女子学院巴纳德学院(Barnard college)早期的数学教育和教育工作者是如何处理在不同校园平等学习的问题的,以及巴纳德学院一些专注于数学研究的女学生是如何利用她们在这个男性主导的领域的知识在毕业后从事职业的。19世纪的女性努力争取获得与男性同等价值的学位,尤其是当她们被排除在与男性同行共享校园和班级的时候。巴纳德学院成立之初,女性接受高等教育是一个极具争议的问题,尤其是对那些有着严格学术要求的机构而言。本文使用来自巴纳德学院和哥伦比亚大学的档案材料来探讨巴纳德学院学生所要求的数学课程,为什么选择这一特定课程,以及在该系成立的前25年里活跃的选定教师和校友。

This paper uses archival material from both Barnard and Columbia to explore the mathematics curriculum required of Barnard’s students, why that particular curriculum was selected, and selected faculty and alumnae active in the department during its first 25 years.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143132406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mathematical play can support student agency and engagement, offer learning benefits, and foster productive mathematical dispositions. However, the bulk of research on mathematical play investigates the mathematics that emerges in young children’s natural play or in students’ play in informal spaces such as video games. We introduce the term “playful math” to describe the activities and features of an instructional environment that can facilitate mathematical play, and we investigate the efficacy of incorporating playful task design elements into algebra activities. Drawing on two small-group teaching experiments with middle-school students, the first with two participants and the second with three participants, we identified 13 phenomena characterizing students’ mathematical play activity: Competitive Fun, Feeling Proud, Enjoyment, Wonderment, Taking on Authority, Perturbation, Investment, Immersion, Agency, Perseverance, Creative/Unusual, Harder Math, and Laughter. We found that all phenomena except Wonderment and Perturbation occurred more during playful math tasks. We describe two vignettes exemplifying the mathematical play phenomena and discuss implications for task design and instruction.
数学游戏可以支持学生的代理和参与,提供学习的好处,并培养富有成效的数学倾向。然而,关于数学游戏的大量研究调查了幼儿自然游戏或学生在电子游戏等非正式空间中的游戏中出现的数学。我们引入了术语“好玩的数学”来描述能够促进数学游戏的教学环境的活动和特征,并研究了将好玩的任务设计元素融入代数活动的效果。通过对中学生进行的两个小组教学实验,第一个有两个参与者,第二个有三个参与者,我们确定了13种表征学生数学游戏活动的现象:竞争性乐趣、感到自豪、享受、惊奇、获得权威、扰动、投资、沉浸、代理、毅力、创造性/不寻常、更难的数学和笑声。我们发现,在有趣的数学任务中,除了惊奇和扰动之外,所有现象都发生得更多。我们描述了两个例证数学游戏现象的小插曲,并讨论了任务设计和教学的含义。
