Padrón, Miguel A.; Plaza, Ángel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Many proofs of the arithmetic mean harmonic mean inequality have been proposed based on the rich connections between mathematics and physics. Sometimes the Arithmetic Mean Harmonic Mean inequality is proved by using electric networks. In this note, we use a simple set of two springs, instead of four springs which would be the equivalent set to…

Birgin, Osman; Gürbüz, Ramazan; Memis, Kafiye Zeynep – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The aim of this study was to investigate second-grade elementary school students' performance related to their counting skills, place value understanding, and addition operation in natural numbers. A total of 205 second-grade elementary school students from Turkey participated in this study. The data were collected through a 'Personal Information…

Parker, K. Andrew – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
Basic arithmetic forms the foundation of the math courses that students will face in their undergraduate careers. It is therefore crucial that students have a solid understanding of these fundamental concepts. At an open-access university offering both two-year and four-year degrees, incoming freshmen who were identified as lacking in basic…

Plaza, A.; Falcon, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
In this article, we consider some generalizations of Fibonacci numbers. We consider k-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + F[subscript k,n]), the (k, l)-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + lF[subscript k,n]), and the Fibonacci…
