Dear colleagues,
Please join us for the final JRME Talk of 2025! We have had some excellent conversations already this fall, and look forward to our final talk of this year.
JRME Talks is a monthly series of short online talks by authors of forthcoming (already accepted) JRME articles in which authors share highlights of their upcoming articles in the context of their larger research agenda and intellectual concerns. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with authors and editors about research and publishing in mathematics education.
Everyone is welcome to attend! Please register in advance at the link provided above. We look forward to seeing you there.

Middle School Students’ Meanings of Points from Quantitative and Covariational Reasoning Perspectives
Abstract: We examine the meanings students give to points when they are graphing relationships between quantities in dynamic, experiential contexts. Using data from teaching experiments with middle-grades students, we illustrate two main categories of meanings: iconic and quantitative. We then introduce four distinct subcategories of meanings: (a) iconic and transformed iconic translations (a point represents an object or location), (b) nonunited points (a point represents a single quantity’s magnitude), (c) spatial-quantitative multiplicative objects (a point is an object or location with quantitative properties), and (d) quantitative multiplicative objects in conventional and nonconventional planes (a point represents two quantities’ magnitudes). We discuss the implications of these meanings for research, teaching, and curriculum development.
Everyone is welcome to attend! Please register in advance at the link provided above. We look forward to seeing you there.
Future presenters will be announced at a later date.
