Xiu Wen Tay; Tin Lam Toh; Lu Pien Cheng – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
A research project on using comics for teaching mathematics was initiated in one Singapore primary school. One class of Grade 5 (students of age 11-12) students was exposed to comics for mathematics instruction. This paper reports a case study of seven students' perception of the features of the comics instructional package and how these features…

Lemonidis, Charalampos; Likidis, Nikos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this study, we propose an integrated hierarchical model of computational estimation strategies (IHMCES), which can be used to organize a set of computational estimation strategies, used by a group of individuals, in strategy ranges. IHMCES can be used for the description of the repertoire, profile and flexibility of individuals regarding the…

Tucker, Stephen I.; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study examines the construct of distance -- the degree of difficulty of interacting with something -- as part of activity involving children using touchscreen digital games to learn mathematics. Ten fifth-grade children engaged in video-recorded semi-structured task-based interviews in which they used two touchscreen digital mathematics games…

Papadopoulos, Ioannis – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
In this paper a two-stage research study is described focused on problem solving relevant to place-value and on the use of the operations within the calculator environment. The findings show that in this specific environment and via appropriate tasks teachers are provided with a context to better understand what year 5 or 6 pupils know or do not…

El Mouhayar, Rabih; Jurdak, Murad – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This paper explored variation of strategy use in pattern generalization across different generalization types and across grade level. A test was designed to assess students' strategy use in pattern generalization tasks. The test was given to a sample of 1232 students from grades 4 to 11 from five schools in Lebanon. The findings of this study…

Bouta, Hara; Paraskeva, Fotini – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Research spanning two decades shows that there is a continuing development of 3D virtual worlds and investment in such environments for educational purposes. Research stresses the need for these environments to be well-designed and for suitable pedagogies to be implemented in the teaching practice in order for these worlds to be fully effective.…
