Children's Disciplinary Literacy and Spatial Structuring
Mon, October 27, 4:30 to 5:30pm, Penn Stater Conference Center, Floor: Main Level, Deans HallDescription
Mathematics extends beyond numbers and equations into a multimodal nature of constructing meaning with symbols, diagrams, and representations, yet how students engage with these multimodal tools and representations remains understudied. This study explores how third grade students engage with multimodal explanatory texts aligned with findings from spatial structuring tasks. Eye-tracking and heat map analysis was used to explore the correspondence of students leveled mathematical spatial structuring and literacy processes. This study continues to examine how textual functions correspond with students’ construction of emerging mathematical concepts.
