In this article we review the research on the flexible or adaptive use of solution strategies in school mathematics, with a focus on the most recent work in the field. After a short introduction, we provide an overview of the various ways in which strategy flexibility has been conceptualized and investigated in the research literature. Then we…

Math anxiety can significantly impair student learning outcomes. This is often due to a lack of self-regulated learning (SRL), leading to a reliance on external guidance. This systematic literature review aimed to increase existing knowledge on the role of SRL in reducing students' mathematics anxiety and to assess its impact on improving learning…

This is a review of experimental research in which students have been taught to pose mathematical problems as a means of developing their learning. Hence, the aim of the research is to combine the empirical evidence regarding the functionality of problem posing strategies and to explore the aspects which could influence the integration of problem…

Learning mathematics in an online learning environment has unique challenges. Success in an online mathematics learning environment depends on a student's self-regulating ability. This systematic review provides the scholarly community with a synthesis of current self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies of students in the mathematics online…

The ability to think creatively and self-regulated learning is very important in learning mathematics, in order to train students to develop their creativity. But in reality, mathematics learning that is currently happening has not been able to develop mathematical creative thinking skills and increase students' self-regulated learning. The…

The present study reviewed the papers in the Scopus database relevant to flipped classrooms in all mathematics subject areas published up until 2018 from various dimensions. It was found that there has been a considerable number of studies on flipped classrooms in mathematics education in these years. The majority were conducted in university…

We conducted a comprehensive synthesis of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) research that aimed to facilitate the learning of mathematical word problem solving involving elementary and secondary school students with learning disabilities or difficulties in mathematics. We examined a total of 13 studies under the four instructional categories:…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant change in college mathematics education toward online learning, which has advantages and disadvantages for students, instructors, and institutions. To ensure the effectiveness of online learning, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence its success. This study looks at the…

While in traditional mathematics teaching methods, it is possible to prove concepts while teaching geometry and to reach generalizations that require more complex definitions by using concept findings, while in today's geometry teaching, learning that activates the student's discovery process gains importance. In this context, the aim of this…

Since mathematics scores have not improved appreciably in the last 20 years, a need exists to improve fraction instruction for preservice teachers (PSTs), so future elementary students are more successful with fractions (NCES, 2019). Unfortunately, it appears that many future teachers have not mastered fractions to the point they can teach…

Many students persistently misinterpret histograms. This calls for closer inspection of students' strategies when interpreting histograms and case-value plots (which look similar but are different). Using students' gaze data, we ask: "How and how well do upper secondary pre-university school students estimate and compare arithmetic means of…

This narrative review provides an overview of the research literature on the effectiveness of mnemonics in mathematics instruction for students with learning disabilities in a K-12 classroom. Eleven studies were identified in refereed journal articles and doctoral dissertations from 1975 to December 2018 that met the inclusion criteria. Overall…

Self-regulation involves the modulation of one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the pursuit of long-term goals. Students who face difficulties with self-regulation may experience substantial deficits in their academic achievement. However, research has pointed to a number of effective instructional strategies and interventions which may be…

In this paper we present the results of a survey of research studies on the learning of multivariable calculus in a wide geographic spectrum. The goal of this study is to describe what research results tell us about students' learning of calculus of two-variable functions, and how they inform its teaching. In spite of the diversity of cultures and…

Mathematical learning is to produce a high competence individual with multiple skills in line with the needs of the 21st century. However, mathematical education is still plagued with problem of mastery of mathematical concepts. In addressing this problem, various initiatives and interventions need to be implemented to ensure that mathematical…
