Aoife OBrien; Máire NíRíordáin – European Educational Researcher, 2025
Initial algebra is a critical stage in the teaching of algebra and occurs when students are transitioning from arithmetic to algebra. Irish mathematics education at post-primary level has undergone a period of major reform beginning in 2010, which encompassed a radical change in the methods for teaching algebra. Despite this reform evidence…

Arnold, Elizabeth G.; Green, Jennifer L. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2023
In K-12 statistics education, there is a call to integrate statistics content standards throughout a mathematics curriculum and to teach these standards from a data analytic perspective. Annotated lesson notes within a lesson plan are a freely available resource to provide teachers support when navigating potentially unfamiliar statistics content…

Huffman, Amanda; Dietiker, Leslie; Richman, Andrew – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
By highlighting the curriculum modifications that lead to maintaining, or enhancing, the mathematical quality of an algebra lesson introducing the substitution method for solving systems of equations from an algebra textbook, we present an analysis of how a teacher and her students impact how the mathematical ideas unfold across the lesson and how…

Zeycan Kama; Mine Isiksal Bostan; Zelha Tunç Pekkan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study investigates sixth-grade Turkish students' pattern-generalization approaches among arithmetical generalization, algebraic generalization, and naïve induction. A qualitative case study design was employed. The data was collected from four sixth-grade students through the Pattern Questionnaire (PQ) and individual interviews based on the…

Petrilli, Salvatore J., Jr. – PRIMUS, 2021
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Adelphi University engaged in a year-long program revision of its mathematics major, which was initiated by a longitudinal study and the publication of the 2015 Curriculum Guide by the MAA's Committee on Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics. This paper stands as a short story, so to speak, of…

Florence Xiaotao Ran; Jesse Eze; Yuxin Lin – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2025
This study evaluates the impact of Maryland's Mathematics Reform Initiative (MMRI), which sought to improve student success in developmental and college-level math through comprehensive curriculum and structural reforms. Launched in 2015, the MMRI developed and implemented non-algebra math pathways tailored to students' chosen program of study.…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Adolfo Angulo Romero; Francisco Eduardo Rengifo Silva; Atanacia Santacruz Espinoza; Jesús Ttito Quispe; Alan Christian López Castillo; Fausto David Berrocal Huarcaya – Online Submission, 2024
For Freudenthal, the practice of mathematics in the curriculum is not a set of predetermined theories, goals and means. On the contrary, it is always associated with positively understood phenomenological processes in mathematics, as the curriculum is often used in conjunction with the transformation or development of practice. For Freudenthal…

Jill Feldman; Atsushi Miyaoka; Matthew Finster; Jennifer Flynn; Tara Dunderdale – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background. Placement in developmental education in college is associated with negative effects on credits earned, course achievement, and degree attainment (Valentine, Konstantopoulos, & Goldrick-Rab, 2017) and requires substantial investments with costs to students and institutions estimated at $1.3 and $7 billion (Ganga, Mazzariello &…

Siqi Huang; Mozzie DosAlmas – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2024
This study reports on the design and implementation of an equity-focused, project-based algebra curriculum in two advanced eighth-grade classrooms. We document with substantial detail a promising approach to capturing how students demonstrate and build robust mathematical understandings in ways that strongly connect to equity issues. We illuminate…

Nabours, Kathy; Koh, Myung Hwa – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Mathematics faculty created a model for intermediate algebra integrating principles from the science of learning. The redesigned curriculum revolved around two big ideas (solving and graphing) and provided students with information about the formation of long-term memories, the benefits of distributed practice, the impact of physiological aspects…

Ennassiri, Brahim; Abouhanifa, Said; Elkhouzai, Elmostapha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasoning and symbolisations used by sixth grade Moroccan students in solving a task based on figurative patterns. Our analysis aims at identifying the systems of actions elaborated by the students to give the general expression of the sequence, according to their perceptions of the sequence of its patterns.…

Meyer, Josephine C.; Passante, Gina; Pollock, Steven J.; Wilcox, Bethany R. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Interdisciplinary introduction to quantum information science (QIS) courses are proliferating at universities across the US, but the experiences of instructors in these courses have remained largely unexplored in the discipline-based education research (DBER) communities. Here, we address this gap by reporting on the findings of a survey of…

Druken, Bridget Kinsella – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2023
Although lesson study has been shown to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics, little research has focused on reasons for engaging in it from a teacher's perspective, particularly after sustained engagement with lesson study. This qualitative study reports on thirty-three teachers from the United States who were involved in twelve…
