Investigating problem-posing during math walks in informal learning spaces.

ABSTRACT: Informal mathematics learning has been far less studied than informal science learning - but youth can experience and learn about mathematics in their homes and communities. "Math walks" where students learn about how mathematics appears in the world around them, and have the opportunity to create their own math walk stops in their communities, can be a particularly powerful approach to informal mathematics learning. This study implemented an explanatory sequential mixed-method research design to investigate the impact of problem-posing activities in the math walks program on high school students' mathematical outcomes. The program was implemented during the pandemic and was modified to an online program where students met with instructors via online meetings. The researchers analyz
