Sam Ford; Mohamed Allali – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Studies across a variety of educational fields have shown the efficacy of feedback on student performance and learning. Web-based homework is a common feature of secondary and collegiate mathematics courses to provide such feedback. While web-based homework provides often instantaneous feedback to students as they complete assignments, the…

Ngo, Vy; Perez Lacera, Luisa; Closser, Avery Harrison; Ottmar, Erin – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
For students to advance beyond arithmetic, they must learn how to attend to the structure of math notation. This process can be challenging due to students' left-to-right computing tendencies. Brackets are used in mathematics to indicate precedence but can also be used as superfluous cues and perceptual grouping mechanisms in instructional…

Syarifuddin, Hendra; Atweh, Bill – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The main focus of the study was to identify the the effects of the ACE teaching cycle approach on students' engagement in learning of Elementary Linear Algebra. The Elementary Linear Algebra course was delivered at the Mathematics Education Study Program of State University of Padang, Indonesia. An action research methodology was adopted for the…

Liu, Kawai; Wu, Julius – Asian Journal of Education and Training, 2021
We examined the potential different effectiveness of an online homework system (IXL) and the traditional paper-and-pencil homework. A study involving 98 participants was conducted in a middle school (grade 8). We compared the post-test results from the online homework group with the traditional homework group. Both homework assignment effect…

Miller-Cotto, Dana; Auxter, Abbey E. – Educational Psychology, 2021
Faded worked examples have been used to promote problem solving performance, such as mathematics performance in many laboratory studies and short-term classroom studies. However, few studies have examined the ways educators may use fading in their own classroom on more accessible platforms that do not require programming experience. Further, few…

Elsinger, Jason; Lewis, Drew – PRIMUS, 2020
This article describes a framework of Standards-Based Grading suitable for use in a variety of mathematics courses. We detail our experience adapting this framework to various courses, ranging from Pre-calculus to Differential Equations, at four different institutions, including both small liberal arts colleges and large universities, and in class…

Venkatesh, Anil; Piercey, Victor – PRIMUS, 2021
Quantitative Reasoning for Professionals is a two-semester general education sequence that teaches basic and intermediate algebra through the lens of quantitative reasoning. In this course sequence, we emphasize communication and inference-making while teaching practical algebra skills for students in programs such as business, nursing, and social…

Zimmerman, Jane K. – PRIMUS, 2020
Standards-based grading (SBG) is an assessment/grading system that attaches scores to the mastery level of specific learning objectives. This methodology is gaining momentum in the K-12 environment but has been largely overlooked at the post-secondary level. In this paper, I will discuss the implementation of this practice in a College Algebra…

Carlisle, Sylvia – PRIMUS, 2020
Specifications grading is a version of mastery grading distinguished by giving students clear specifications that their work must meet, and grading most things pass/fail based on those specifications. Mastery grading systems can get quite elaborate, with hierarchies of objectives and various systems for rewriting and retesting. In this article I…

OShaughnessy, J. – PRIMUS, 2019
This paper investigates the advantages of using a two-step homework system. First, technology is used to collect and grade traditional homework. Then, students are expected to present and explain problems from their assignments in class. Several versions of implementation are discussed for different course levels and sizes. Through these methods,…

Krouss, Paul; Lesseig, Kristin – PRIMUS, 2020
Introductory and remedial courses in college mathematics often serve as a gateway to student success. However, these university courses have seen little innovation despite historically low success rates. We sought to address deficits of the traditional lecture model and enhance student learning in an introductory college algebra course through the…

Anderson, Jacqueline – PRIMUS, 2019
A common challenge among mathematics professors is to structure a course so that students are motivated to complete enough work to master the material without creating an unmanageable grading workload. We will discuss a strategy that the author devised to successfully confront this challenge (after many other failed attempts): using online surveys…

Hubacz, Meghan – Mathematics Teacher, 2018
During the author's eighteen-year tenure as a high school mathematics teacher, there has been one question that she has yet to answer: "Why don't students do homework?" On the basis of research, many factors may lead to a student leaving homework undone. A student may lack the drive to complete work out of school. Or a student may choose…

Walkington, Candace; Clinton, Virginia; Sparks, Anthony – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
Students' grasp of the non-mathematical language in a mathematics story problem--such as vocabulary and syntax--may have an important effect on their problem-solving, and this may be particularly true for students with weaker language skills. However, little experimental research has examined which individual language features influence students'…

Walker, Sylvia E. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2017
The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, it would provide an opportunity for students to complete the developmental math course sequence more quickly, thereby enabling students to proceed to a college-level mathematics course sooner. To accomplish this, the classroom was designed with computer-assisted homework courses that blended…
