Using Examples to Help Students Learn Mathematics: How, When, and With Whom to Use Worked Examples
Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 10:15am, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The objective of this session is to share classroom-based research on using examples in a variety of ways to help students learn mathematics. The complexities of instructional design for classroom instruction introduce many uncertainties about how best to integrate worked examples into instruction (Koedinger, Booth & Klahr, 2013). Projects integrated worked examples into instruction in different ways (e.g., incorrect worked examples, comparing worked examples of different strategies, partially-completed solutions) and attended to which students learned from the examples. They focused on math topics ranging from proportional reasoning to fractions to algebra to trigonometry with students in grades 5 – 12. Together, these presentations advance both science and practice on using worked examples to promote student math learning.
