Abstract
The purpose of this one-year case study was to document the development of a “school-based” mathematics teaching modules on “Weight”. Based on the “OCTL” model, a practical teaching module for fourth grade was developed, named “Weight”. The objectives of this “Weight” module included constructing mathematical concepts related weight, developing problem solving abilities, and emphasizing the connections between mathematics and the daily lives of students. Both qualitative and quantitative research techniques, such as field notes, interviews, observations, document analysis, and surveys, were used to investigate responses of students while the module was being implemented in the cooperative teacher’s mathematics class. These findings were useful for researchers to reflect on, and to modify, the design of the module. Suggestions are also presented for developing and using “school-based” mathematics teaching modules.
