Alexandre Cavalcante – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
This article examines the integration of financial numeracy in secondary mathematics textbooks. It addresses the gap in literature on how financial concepts are portrayed in textbooks, contributing to the establishment of financial numeracy as a field of research and practice. The study analyzed financial numeracy tasks in three published textbook…

Lovisa Sumpter; Anneli Blomqvist – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Knowing functions and functional thinking have recently moved from just knowledge for older students to incorporating younger students, and functional thinking has been identified as one of the core competencies for algebra. Although it is significant for mathematical understanding, there is no unified view of functional thinking and how different…

Ayse Ozturk – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Incorporating open-ended real-world tasks enhances students' access to mathematical and real-life knowledge and maximizes learning experiences. This article examines how a secondary mathematics teacher used an open-ended problem on distributing pay raises to teach mathematical concepts and fairness to students. The teacher's actions exemplify…

Margaret Walton; Janet Walkoe – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Seeds of Algebraic Thinking comes from the Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) perspective of learning. KiP is a systems approach to learning that stems from the constructivist idea that people learn by building on prior knowledge. As people experience the world, they acquire small, sub-conceptual knowledge elements. When people engage in a particular…

Frank Feudel; Alexander Unger – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In tertiary mathematics courses, students often have difficulties acquiring an understanding of the mathematical concepts covered. One approach to address this problem is to implement so-called Concept-Tests. These are multiple-choice questions whose distractors represent common problems and misconceptions related to the concepts. While there…

Kathryn Early; Amiee Sanders; W. Gary Martin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Vectors have important applications both within and outside mathematics, but the concept of vectors is often taught to students in a less-than-engaging way, leading to students feeling inadequate and frustrated. This article describes the use of a mathematical microworld, "Driving with Vectors," to explore vectors using equitable…

Patrick B. Johnson; Corinna Singleman; Jennifer Valad; Eva Fernandez; Nathalia Holtzman – College Teaching, 2025
This study examined the extent to which college algebra instructors employ pedagogical practices previously found to assist students master difficult STEM content material and address their own previous math deficits. Faculty classroom behaviors were assessed with a modified version of the Generalized Observation and Reflection Platform (GORP).…
