This $374,191 National Science Foundation award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) federal grant program will fund research at Texas State University to develop a theoretical framework and instructional resources focused on middle school students' graph literacy development. Over a five-year period from February 2023 to January 2028, the university will conduct task-based clinical interviews with middle school students to examine their cognitive strategies and intuitive insights when reading and writing graphs across mathematical domains. Researchers will use a design-based methodology to iteratively develop a set of empirically-tested graphing tasks, a library of video illustrations of student thinking, and publications and curricular materials for teachers and teacher educators. The work aims to build a holistic model of the development of students' graph literacy skills from an asset-based perspective that can inform mathematics instruction.
