Scholarly contextualisation: There is a need to fill gaps in knowledge from secondary school before starting university curriculum. Cooperative learning, a form of active learning, implicitly includes peer-to-peer teaching, and is a good candidate when filling the knowledge gaps relies on high student involvement. Aim and Problem: 1) We describe a…

This paper focuses on in-service teacher education as a crucial agent in driving educational paradigm shifts for the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. Our paper presents empirical research based on two case studies, examining training courses for in-service secondary school mathematics teachers. The first course integrates different…

This study examines the utilization of ChatGPT by pre-service mathematics teachers during the 5E lesson planning process, focusing on its affordances, constraints, and potential as a supportive tool in education. Twenty-one pre-service mathematics teachers, selected through purposive sampling, participated in the study. Data collection included 5E…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of digital gamification-based instruction on the attitudes towards mathematics and anxiety of seventh-grade gifted students in the "Equation and Equation" unit. In this study, pretest-posttest unbalanced group experimental design was used. The study was conducted in the 2022-2023…

We present a recent randomized field trial delivered in Carnegie Learning's MATHia's intelligent tutoring system to a sample of 12,374 learners intended to test whether rewriting content in a selection of so-called "word problems" improves student mathematics performance within this content, especially among students who are emerging as…

In the 21st century, the demand for proficiency in mathematics has escalated, as it underpins critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation in various fields. Recognizing the significance of mathematics education, after-school programs have emerged as potent supplementary platforms to enhance students' mathematical skills and achievement.…

Recent literature justifies the use of virtual learning in supporting middle-grades students' mathematical knowledge development and emphasizes the critical role of motivation in learning (Lo & Hew, 2020; Murphy et al., 2020; Spitzer & Musslick, 2021). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation both play a role in learning for middle-grades…

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows increasing potential to improve mathematics instruction, yet integrative quantitative evidence currently is lacking on its overall effectiveness and factors influencing success. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the effectiveness of AI on improving mathematics performance in K-12 classrooms…

Scholars and practitioners have called for personalized and widely accessible professional development (PD) for teachers. Yet, a long-standing tension between customizing support and increasing access to such support has hindered the scale-up of high-quality PD for individual teachers. This study addresses this challenge by developing a…

The paper evaluates math performance at four high-need middle schools during a four-year intervention, which was designed to help math teachers diagnose students' areas of need and to design lesson plans responsive to those needs. Before the intervention began, the researchers pre-selected four comparison schools by matching based on achievement…

This mixed methods experimental study examined the impacts of the Early College High School model on students' college readiness in mathematics measured by their success in college preparatory mathematics courses in the 9th through 11th grades, and disaggregated for academically prepared and underprepared students. This study looked at the…

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of visually assisted guided discovery learning strategy on grade 10 students' problem solving skills of learning plane geometry in Woldia City, North Wollo, and Ethiopia. A nonequivalent quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-control group design and a case study design were used. The population of…

Mathematics preparatory workshops were offered to college students at a diverse urban undergraduate institution. The goal was to prepare students for their mathematics course, by offering non-credit bearing and free preparatory workshops. The lack of adequate preparation for mathematics courses is a barrier for student engagement in future STEM…

This study explored whether initial skill moderated outcomes of Promoting Algebra Readiness, a Tier 2 sixth grade mathematics intervention targeting conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions. The study analyzed data from a quasi-experimental pilot study in which at-risk students (n = 198) were assigned to the treatment or control condition…
