Hua Ran; Jinfa Cai; Faith Muirhead; Stephen Hwang – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Using data from a problem-posing project, this study analyzed the characteristics of middle school students' responses to problem-posing prompts that did not match our assumptions and expectations to better understand student thinking. The study found that the characteristics of middle school students' unexpected responses were distributed across…

Katja Lenz; Andreas Obersteiner; Gerald Wittmann – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Students' proficiency in the language of instruction is essential for their mathematical learning. Accordingly, language-responsive instruction, which includes adapting teaching material to students' language needs, is thought to promote mathematical learning, particularly for students with lower levels of proficiency in the language of…

Einat Heyd-Metzuyanim – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
In this theoretical essay, I build on complexity theory and commognition to theorize the ways in which failure to teach/learn mathematics (FTLM) emerges through the dynamic interactions among teacher, learner, and curriculum demands. I focus on two main concepts of complexity theory: emergence in dynamic systems and attractor states (stable,…
