Summary
The ZEN-Math project (Zooming into Environments for Nurturing Mathematics) seeks to address the evident need in the field for resources and knowledge that could support greater flexibility in mathematical teaching and learning at the elementary level. Specifically, our overarching goal in this project is to draw on the emerging pedagogical model of the ‘flipped classroom’ that is gaining popularity at the tertiary level and, to a lesser extent, at the secondary level, in order to conceptualize and obtain a proof-of concept for the elementary school mathematics flipped classroom (ESM-FC). To this end, we have formed a “think tank” of experts with representatives of various stakeholders in mathematics education, including teachers from various grade levels, teacher educators, resource designers, mathematics education researchers, policy makers, mathematicians, scientists, and parents to elementary school students.
