Sheridan Reilly; Lynn Sheridan; Elise van der Jagt – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2025
Pre-university mathematics enabling courses can potentially change adult learners' perceptions and beliefs around mathematics, enhance self-efficacy, personal confidence, motivation, and enable achievements that support future study and career goals. Enabling courses, however, often require highly individualised curricula and approaches that can…

Bradley Graeme Welch; Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, we explore how the typical second year undergraduate topic of matrix diagonalisation can be applied to solve a geometric problem which arises frequently in Vector Calculus: to find the curve of intersection of a plane and a surface. We use GeoGebra, which offers a cost-free and dynamic interface, to explore a specific variant of…

Charles Hohensee; Matthew Melville; Crystal Collier; Yue Ma – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2025
This study examined "backward transfer," which we define as how students' ways of reasoning about previously encountered concepts are modified when learning about new concepts. We examined the backward transfer produced when students learned about quadratic functions. We were specifically interested in how backward transfer may vary for…

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…

Amanda Waldron; Steve Rhine – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Digital curricula can constrain teachers with ready-made instructional materials. The authors used Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) to modify a digital curriculum to engage students in more thoughtful and meaningful lessons. In this article, the authors visit one of their third-grade classrooms, in which they used the prescriptive digital…

Simon Demorsy; Vanessa Hanin; Stéphane Colognesi – Education 3-13, 2025
This study answers two research questions: (1) How do 12- and 13-year-old students respond to metacognitive questions posed during a complex task in mathematics or in science and (2) Do these responses differ by discipline? Content analysis was applied to responses collected from 92 students from a French-speaking Belgian school. The results…

Charity N. Watson; Pablo Duran; Adam Castillo; Edgar Fuller; Geoff Potvin; Laird Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
College calculus plays an important role in STEM students' degree and career aspirations. One of the key factors considered in assessing a student's ability to be successful in calculus is their proficiency in topics from prior mathematics courses such as algebra and precalculus. This study set out to examine the impact of students' precalculus…

Prior short-term studies have shown the effectiveness of worked examples and self-explanation prompts in improving elementary students' mathematics knowledge. However, year-long classroom-based interventions have been tested only with older students. The purpose of the current study was to explore the effectiveness of a year-long classroom…

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).…

A multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate what variables may predict the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional survey design aimed to explore the factors predicting the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics using gamified instruction. Two hundred twenty-five…

Dina Kamber Hamzic; Mirsad Trumic; Ismar Hadžalic – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Trigonometry is an important part of secondary school mathematics, but it is usually challenging for students to understand and learn. Since trigonometry is learned and used at a university level in many fields, like physics or geodesy, it is important to have an insight into students' trigonometry knowledge before the beginning of the university…
