Abstract
Eliciting high-level mathematics symbolizing and communicating from students engaged in mathematics communities of practice has been found to be a challenging problem. In this article, we report on a study where 21 grade six female students engaged in model-eliciting problem-solving with collective discourse mediated by Knowledge Forum® Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) software achieved the kind of progressive knowledge-building activity that until now had not been achieved in CSCL-mediated mathematics communities. During the course of the study, the students engaged in knowledge-building discourse about and iteratively improved their models for ranking the cities of Canada in terms of livability. The success achieved in having the students engage in this knowledge-building activity was attributed to the contexts provided by the model-eliciting math problem and to contexts and scaffolds for knowledge-building discourse provided by Knowledge Forum® during the construction and iterative revisions of the math models.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
