Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Dorce, Carlos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
For quite some time, research on the use of the History of Mathematics in the classroom has confirmed a lot of academic benefits for students. However, the History of Mathematics can also be used as an inclusion tool in classrooms where there are foreign students because it allows working with the specific contexts of other cultures. This article…

Nelson, Mark Ian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
A textbook model of a contagious disease, the dynamics of which are represented by the SIS epidemic model with saturating treatment, is considered. I show that this model, as originally formulated, is not dimensionally consistent. The model can be fixed by including a dimensional constant [alpha] of value one (with units individuals[superscript…

Bütüner, Suphi Önder – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This study has compared Turkish and Singaporean textbooks with respect to the instructional content of the unit on division in fractions, which is a challenging topic for many students. Two Turkish textbooks were compared against two Singaporean books, "My Pals Are Here" and "Targeting Mathematics." In Turkish and Singaporean…

Avcu, Seher; Çetinkaya, Bülent – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study explored prospective middle school mathematics teachers' developing understanding of geometric transformations through designing and implementing an instructional unit in a technology supported classroom environment. The instructional unit including seven activities was developed by considering past research on learners' pre-existing…

Hyland, Diarmaid; van Kampen, Paul; Nolan, Brien C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
This paper reports on the first part of a multiphase research project that seeks to identify and address the difficulties encountered by physics students when studying differential equations. Differential equations are used extensively by undergraduate physics students, particularly in the advanced modules of their degree. It is, therefore,…
