Playing board games and other math activities can provide young children with opportunities to develop their math skills. However, it is critical to understand for whom these activities may be most beneficial. In two studies, we examine the extent to which foundational cognitive skills moderate the effects of playing math games on math skills. In…

This paper attempts to deepen our understanding of teachers' selection and modification of mathematical tasks for their classroom instruction. In this paper, we focus on teachers' orientations and resources that subtly influence teachers' choices during their routine undertaking of task selection and modification. Interviews using stimulus…

The introduction of digital artefacts for the teaching/learning of mathematics raises the issue of "transitioning" between the mathematical knowledge built in digital contexts and that built in a more traditional, non-digital context, and vice versa. In this article, we address this issue by presenting a teaching experiment aimed at…

Previous studies highlight the importance of investigate the construction in video-recorded learning situations. The aim of this study is to investigate how video-recordings can be used to enhance pre-service teachers' abilities to identify children's exploration of mathematics in preschools. Even if some previous studies have focused the use of…

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…

This study aimed to produce a learning path that can help students understand the concept of percent using the context of an egg rack. This study used a design research method through the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education approach which was carried out at Elementary School No. 2 Gumawang, Indonesia. Data were obtained through observation,…

This study aims to explore in-service preschool teachers' attitudes towards and beliefs about geometry and its teaching and to investigate their knowledge of shapes and solids. The study uses a mixed descriptive approach employing quantitative and qualitative research methods. Thirty-four Israeli preschool teachers of children aged 3-6 from 34…

To address the gap in students' exposure to and knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content, Young Academic Music (YAM) was designed to integrate music, math, and computational thinking in a way that teachers can implement as a supplemental curriculum in their kindergarten classrooms to meet the needs of their students.…

This paper describes the conceptions about complex numbers that a group of university students has, these were built from the application of an activity sequence centered on these numbers. This sequence is based on the APOS theory, some aspects of semiotic representation theory, and the use of digital technology. Particularly, both the general…

In this article, we use a case study to explore the views of first-year university students on the differences between mathematics at school and at university, and on the changes to their study methods as they make the transition to university mathematics. We also consider their views on the differences and affordances of tasks that they encounter…

This article will discuss how Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) elementary school mathematics team helped teachers acquire the knowledge and skills to implement mathematics instruction and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) 5 competencies concurrently, with the goal of addressing the social and…

The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of an intervention in which mathematics e-book (EB) activities were supported by metacognitive scaffolding on kindergarten children's mathematics knowledge and mathematics reasoning. Participants were 60 Israeli children who studied in three intact kindergarten classrooms in the Arab…
