摘要

U.S. mathematics teachers face considerable pressures to keep up with pacing guides and to prepare students for standardized tests. At the same time, they are called upon to engage students in innovative exploratory activities and to incorporate new technologies into their lessons. These competing priorities pose considerable challenges. Against this backdrop, we investigated how middle-school mathematics teachers incorporated play into lessons involving interactive computer simulations (sims). The teachers used PhET sims in a variety of lessons. Following general guidelines for teaching with PhET sims, these lessons included a short period of play prior to more structured work with the sim. Our analysis of 15 mathematics lessons involving play led to the identification of four characteristics that distinguish the play phases of these lessons. Based on combinations of these characteristics, we identified three specific profiles of play, which lie at different points along a continuum of priorities from foregrounding students' ideas to keeping pace. We discuss the implications associated with each profile of the play phase, and we begin to articulate a theory that frames teaching with play as a matter of balancing divergent and convergent modes of activity.
