IMCI Brown Bag Lunch: Angela Crawford - Mathematical Reasoning Through Movement
How do students communicate mathematical reasoning they can't yet put into words?
Join the conversation as Angela Crawford, an assistant research professor of STEM Education, investigates behavioral signals, such as gesture and student-generated inscriptions, of proportional reasoning sophistication in middle school students in “Detecting Mathematical Reasoning Through Gesture and Movement: Toward a Multimodal Assessment Platform.” The long-term goal is a technology-mediated assessment platform capable of automatically detecting reasoning quality through multimodal behavior — moving beyond written products to capture thinking in motion.
