Area Model Mediating Learning of Area Measurement: A Case Study of African American Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
: The over-arching gap in research is regarding the instructional needs and the cultural capital that African American students bring to the mathematics classroom. Given the reality that most African American students in the United States will learn mathematics from a white, middle-class teacher. Using models of learning in teaching of mathematics fordiverse students might bridge the cultural differences between teachers and students. The case study of 5 fifth grade AfricanAmerican students illustrate that using gradual release model with area model in mediating learning of area measurement, allowed these students to achieve the higher levels of abstraction in their thinking.
