• Examining individual and collective level mathematical progress (2014, methodology): “In (5), Justin used the phrase “get back,” which comes from previous work on the Magic Carpet Ride problem (Wawro et al., 2012) in which students used a set of three vectors in R3 to try to begin and end a trip at home (i.e., the origin).”
• A hypothetical learning trajectory for conceptualizing matrices as linear transformations (2017, methodology): “Prior to the instructional sequence driven by this HLT, the class had engaged in an RMEinspired instructional sequence focused on conceptual understanding of linear combinations, span, and linear independence [39].”
