Mathematical representation is one of the skills that students need to master because it can help them in various problem-solving tasks. This research is a literature review of articles related to mathematical representation in mathematics education. The articles are those published in journals indexed by Scopus from 2020 to 2024. The results of…

Research and theory indicate that the type and quality of instruction, not the delivery mechanism, are what impact learning. Previous reviews have not systematically explored variations in the instructional strategies, approaches, and designs of educational technology programs and also suffered from lax inclusion criteria, which has been known to…

Background/purpose: Awareness of the mathematical skills and knowledge children possess in their early years is widely accepted. This includes various common positive aspects, not only for educators but also for researchers and policymakers. This study presents a systematic review conducted to meticulously identify empirical studies published in…

Manipulatives are widely considered an effective practice and have been recommended as an evidence-based practice for students identified with a learning disability when used within the concrete--representational--abstract instructional framework. The aim of the current study was to evaluate single-case experimental designs that implemented a…

The purpose of the present review was to evaluate the quality of the research and evidence base for representation of problems as a strategy to enhance the mathematical performance of students with learning disabilities and those at risk for mathematics difficulties. The authors evaluated 25 experimental and quasiexperimental studies according to…

Poor mathematics performance in schools is both a national and an international concern. Teachers ought to be equipped with relevant subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge as one way to address this problem. However, no mathematics knowledge and practice standards have as yet been defined for the preparation of Foundation Phase…

Developing the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2007 Assessment Frameworks represents an extensive collaborative effort involving individuals and expert groups from more than 60 countries around the world. The document contains three frameworks for implementing TIMSS 2007--the Mathematics Framework, the Science…
