The seminar will be led by Jacoliene van Wijk, an industrial design engineer, PhD candidate, and first-grade mathematics teacher in the Netherlands. Her research has been in progress for 2.5 years, and she is supervised by Anna Shvarts, Rogier Bos, and Michiel Doorman.
In this seminar, Jacoliene presents her research on designing active mathematics folding lessons using design-based research for students from 12 to 18 years old. The lesson designs are based on the theory of embodied cognition and use the principles of Freudenthal’s Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) and Brousseaus' Theory of Didactical Situations (TDS). We are designing mathematics lessons based on paper folding for functions (students of about 16-18 yo) and (re)designing lessons for geometry (about 12 yo).
In the seminar, Jacoliene presents the results of the first two years of this design-based research, in which the first lesson designs for both groups were tested with students in practice. In the seminar, you will also practice paper folding. We will experience the rich mathematics hidden in only a few folds of a sheet of paper. So, make sure you have about four sheets of A4 or A5 paper - and scissors to make other sizes - on hand!
