Giovanni Vincenzi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Using the basic properties of the base-b representation of rational numbers, we will give an elementary proof of Gauss's lemma: "Every real root of a monic polynomial with integer coefficients is either an integer or irrational." The paper offers a new perspective in understanding the meaning of 'irrational numbers' from a deeper…

F. M. S. Lima – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this short note I present an elementary proof of irrationality for the number "e," the base of the natural logarithm. It is simpler than other known proofs as it does not use comparisons with geometric series, nor Beukers' integrals, and it does not assume that "e" is a rational number from the beginning.

Rafi' Safadi; Nadera Hawa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Graded Troubleshooting (GTS) is a powerful routine that teachers can use easily to engender students' metacognitive thinking and boost their understanding of mathematics concepts and procedures. This article describes a new GTS activity designed to prompt students to efficiently exploit worked examples when asked to diagnose erroneous examples…
