Jérôme Proulx – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
In their recent article on teachers' proportional reasoning, Copur-Gencturk et al. (2022) draw attention to a type of strategy that they call "relative", lodged right between additive and multiplicative thinking. This strategy raised interest in our research team, as it aligned well and helped give stronger meaning to some strategies…

Demetra Pitta-Pantazi; Eleni Demosthenous; Maike Schindler; Achim J. Lilienthal; Constantinos Christou – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
There is growing evidence that the ability to perceive structure is essential for students' mathematical development. Looking at students' structure sense in basic numerical and patterning tasks seems promising for understanding how these tasks set the foundation for the development of later mathematical skills. Previous studies have shown how…

Rikke Maagaard Gregersen – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
The study advances the instrumental approach to mathematics education (Drijvers et al., 2013; Trouche, 2003), aiming to elucidate the interplay between students' reasoning competency, conceptual knowledge and tool utilisation in dynamic digital geometry and algebra environments. The dynamic properties of these environments pose a nuanced…

Kyungbin Kwon; Thomas A. Brush; Keunjae Kim; Minhwi Seo – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study examined the effects of embodied learning experiences on students' understanding of computational thinking (CT) concepts and their ability to solve CT problems. In a mixed-reality learning environment, students mapped CT concepts, such as sequencing and loops, onto their bodily movements. These movements were later applied to robot…

Marcruz, Ong Yew Lee; Carrie, Ho Ka Lee; Manabu, Kawata; Mayumi, Takahashi; Kumpei, Mizuno – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
It has become increasingly clear that the early use of decomposition for addition is associated with later mathematical achievement. This study examined how younger children execute a base-10 decomposition strategy to solve complex arithmetic (e.g. two-digit addition). 24 addition problems in two modalities (WA: Written Arithmetic; OA: Oral…

Jessica A. Bowman; John McDonnell; Karen Karp; Olivia F. Coleman; Carrie Clifton; Lyndsey Aiono Conradi; Joanna Ryan; Michael Farrell – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2024
In this convergent mixed methods design study, single-subject and qualitative data were collected concurrently to provide an in-depth picture of the impact of a modified schema-based instructional intervention. The intervention was delivered using instructional trials embedded across general education math lessons and a modified…

Özcan, Bülent Nuri; Ates, Özlem – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
This study aims to reveal the perceptions that classroom teacher candidates have regarding the concept of computer-assisted mathematics instruction (CAMI), with the help of metaphors. Furthermore, the another aim of the study of this study consists of an analysis of whether these metaphors differed based on the teacher candidates' learning…

Kunze, Andrea; Cromley, Jennifer G. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Given the strong relationships found between high-level learning strategies such as drawing and summarising, and student comprehension and performance, we have seen an increase in drawing-to-learn strategy research. Despite the trend and promise of drawing-to-learn, many of the studies have been limited to high school and undergraduate chemistry…

Sangmi Park – ProQuest LLC, 2023
A solid foundation in mathematics is beneficial not only for individuals' concurrent and later academic achievement, but also for future career success and financial stability. Rational number knowledge plays a pivotal role in mathematical success, yet it is often regarded as a challenging area to grasp comprehensively. The dissertation aims to…

Sharif-Rasslan, Amal; Tabajah-Awawdy, Jehan – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2022
This qualitative study aimed to examine: (1) the manner in which kindergarten children and first graders make sense of the term "area" regarding optimization problems; (2) how this manner is manifested in their decision-making and "STEAM" (science, technology, engineering, art and math) skills; and (3) how kindergarten children…

Wahidah, Nanda Rahmatul; Johar, Rahmah; Zubainur, Cut Morina – Malikussaleh Journal of Mathematics Learning, 2020
Geometry is one of the topics that students must comprehend in mathematics. However, in reality, the students' ability concerning geometry is relatively low due to their low spatial reasoning ability. The ELPSA framework is one of the solutions to develop students' spatial reasoning abilities. This study aimed to describe students' spatial…

Maria Bempeni; Stavroula Poulopoulou; Xenia Vamvakoussi – Online Submission, 2021
In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that: a) there are individual differences in secondary students' conceptual and procedural fraction knowledge, and b) these differences are predicted by students' approach (deep vs. surface) to mathematics learning. We used two instruments developed and evaluated for the purposes of the study which…

Crawford, Angela R. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
Learning trajectories are built upon progressions of mathematical understandings that are typical of the general population of students. As such, they are useful frameworks for exploring how understandings of diverse learners may be similar or different from their peers, which has implications for tailoring instruction. The purpose of this…

Chang, Tzyh-Lee; Hsin, Huai-Tzu – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Being able to think independently is a must for students to construct new knowledge in their minds. Self-explaining is a constructive learning strategy that encourages students to think for themselves and to make inferences that go beyond the given information. The Self-explain--Discuss--Re-explain (SDR) strategy adapted from…

Hoon, Teoh Sian; Mohamed, Siti Syardia Erdina; Singh, Parmjit; Kee, Kor Liew – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2020
Purpose: Most literature has focused solely on either knowledge about number sense or understanding of fractions. To fill the research gap, this study examined pupils' abilities in both number sense and fractions. In particular, it investigated Year 4 and Year 5 pupils' use of strategies in developing their fraction sense. Methodology: This study…
