Armando Morales-Carballo; Miguel Díaz Cárdenas; Angie Damián Mojica – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
This article presents a theoretical-didactic perspective on the formation and development of concepts concerning mathematical objects as a result of research on didactic difficulties in dealing with concepts in school. The theoretical foundation that supports the research is based on the contributions of the materialist approach to the theory of…

Francesca Ferrara; Giulia Ferrari – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
In this paper, we are interested in a dynamic vision of diagrams, focusing on their evocative power, their force in mathematical activity and their potential for interaction with mathematical objects. We are inspired by the work of C. S. Pierce to see diagrams as "inscriptions that organise space and articulate relations" and that of the…

Li Zhang – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
We present an intriguing topic in a mathematical modelling course where Lanchester models are taught to our students. Lanchester models are some of the earliest and most important models used for combat modelling. We describe modelling activities and the use of technology that can be implemented in teaching this topic in this paper.

Merav Weingarden; Giulia Lisarelli; Anna Baccaglini-Frank – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
This article investigates the potential mathematical learning opportunities arising from a digital activity designed to enhance students' comprehension of equations. Employing a commognitive-oriented lens, the analysis explores the potential mathematical discourses that could emerge from students' interactions with a digital scale inspired by the…

Hamilton L. Hardison – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
A one-degree angle would certainly be difficult to draw accurately, especially without the aid of other tools like a protractor. However, mentally making a one-degree angle in visualized imagination is not only possible, but it is important for students' emergent understandings of angular measure. When students begin learning about length,…

Lynn H. Bowie; Mellony H. Graven – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: South African learners face the double disadvantage of living in low socioeconomic conditions with access to few resources and attending schools with challenging learning conditions. Mathematics performance reflects such conditions with extreme performance gaps between wealthier and poorer learners. The need for early intervention is…
