Direct linkAlexandre Cavalcante; Annie Savard; Elena Polotskaia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This article proposes an in-depth mathematics analysis of simple and compound interest through an exploration of the mathematical structures underlying these concepts. Financial numeracy concepts (simple and compound interest, interest rates, interest period, present and future value, etc.) have been added to the mathematics curriculum of the…

Liu, Shimeng; Takeuchi, Miwa Aoki – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
When language is defined narrowly in mathematics classrooms, racially and linguistically minoritized students in classrooms could be systematically positioned as "learners of deficiency." Recent scholarship calls for expanding the notion of language to emphasize embodied expression of mathematical ideas. Taking a critical perspective to…

Barwell, Richard – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
The importance of the role of language/discourse in the learning and teaching of mathematics is noted in many mathematics curricula and standards documents. In the research literature, this role has been widely theorised from a Vygotskian perspective. This perspective is limited by some of its underlying assumptions, including an instrumental and…

Zazkis, Rina; Rouleau, Annette – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
In our exploration of the order of operations we focus on the following claim: "In the conventional order of operations, division should be performed before multiplication." This initially surprising claim is based on the acronym BEDMAS, a popular mnemonic used in Canada to assist students in remembering the order of operations. The…

Peer reviewedMura, Roberta – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1993
Reports results of a survey of (n=106) university mathematics teachers' about their definitions of mathematics and their identification of up to 10 books that influenced the development of mathematics. Of the 12 conceptions of mathematics identified, formalistic, deductive, and modeling viewpoints predominated. (Contains 15 references.) (MKR)

Peer reviewedHerscovics, Nicolas; Linchevski, Liora – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Investigated the upper limits of (n=22) seventh-grade students' informal processes in solving first degree equations in one unknown prior to instruction. Results indicated the existence of a cognitive gap between arithmetic and algebra characterized as the students' inability to operate spontaneously with or on the unknown. (37 references)…
