One approach to incorporating financial literacy into educational curricula is the integration of it into closely related courses such as mathematics. Research on curriculum development that fosters the integration of mathematics and financial literacy is necessary. This study aims to develop mathematical tasks that are embedded with financial…

Due to the nature of RME, which sees mathematics as a human activity, there is never a fixed and complete theory for mathematics education. Therefore, it is seen as an approach that still needs to be developed. The aim of this research is to analyze the RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) activities prepared by the pre-service primary school…

The study explored the verb clauses and thematic development evident in curriculum materials and in transcripts of teachers planning lessons using the materials. A central argument is that though teacher characteristics influence the ways they plan lessons with curriculum materials, the materials themselves influence teachers' planned lessons via…

This book argues that mathematical challenge can be found at any level and at every age and constitutes an essential characteristic of any mathematics classroom aimed at developing the students' mathematical knowledge and skills. Since each mathematics classroom is heterogeneous with respect to students' mathematical potential, quality…

Students often perceive mathematics as a challenging and abstract subject, leading to disengagement and anxiety. To address these challenges, educators have increasingly turned to math games as a pedagogical tool to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. This paper explores the potential of math games, particularly Bachet's game, as…

Attention to the disconnection between culture and mathematics has been addressed then and now (Wilder (in: Graves et al., Proceedings of the international congress of mathematicians, American Mathematical Society, 1950; Liu in Taiwan Journal of Mathematics Education, 8:79-88, 2021b). Recently, studies, workshops, and contests about an approach to…

School life in England (and beyond) is temporally structured, with learning planned as a time-limited activity, both within lessons and across units of work. Discourses of performativity and measurement pervade school life in many societies and, what we call "regulated time" controls school-based learning. In particular, primary…
