Leyva, Diana; Libertus, Melissa E.; McGregor, Rebecca – Education Sciences, 2021
Most studies on the subject have investigated relations between home math activities and child math skills, without paying much attention to the specific skills that such activities foster and their alignment with children's math assessments. The present study examined specific relations between subdomains of home math activities and children's…

Araya, Roberto; Gormaz, Raúl – Education Sciences, 2021
When in doubt, asking a peer can be very helpful. Students learn a lot of social strategies from peers. However, stated preference studies have found that for elementary school students with math questions, they prefer to ask their teacher for help. In this paper, we study revealed preferences instead of stated preferences. We analyzed the…

Xenofontos, Constantinos; Hizli Alkan, Sinem – Education Sciences, 2022
Research around mathematics teachers' professional noticing has been largely contextualised by the formal setting of the classroom. In addressing the lack of relevant studies in non-formal learning environments, this paper draws on student teachers' observations within a Mathematics Fair, which was part of a mathematics methods module of a primary…

Demo, Heidrun; Garzetti, Marzia; Santi, George; Tarini, Giulia – Education Sciences, 2021
In this article, we present the first results of the project OPEN-MATH. The research project aims at acknowledging the need for learning environments with differentiation strategies for all. We developed a model for inclusive mathematics learning, based on the Theory of Objectification and a broad idea of differentiation realized through Open…
