To make instructional decisions that interrupt inequitable talk in the classroom, teachers must notice it in the first place. In a two-year Professional Learning Experience (PLE) focused on the core practice of facilitating equitable discussions, we found that two different groups of math teachers took up the work of noticing for equity in…

This study explored mathematical values espoused by senior high school (SHS) mathematics teachers in mathematics teaching and learning in a municipality in Ghana. To achieve this aim, we employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. In the quantitative study, a census was employed to include all 53 SHS mathematics teachers in a…

This paper seeks to gain insights into teachers' perceptions, and readiness to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) tools in mathematics instruction. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys and interviews with a sample of high school mathematics teachers. The study involved 90 mathematics teachers working in…

Meaningful collaborative interactions in asynchronous online mathematics teacher professional development (PD) may provide teachers with valuable opportunities to learn. We studied collaborative interactions in online teacher PD activities that involved embedded videos, prompts, discussions, and multiple online tools. Analysis of teacher responses…

Permutations and combinations are generally taught by requiring students to memorize formulas and solve problems using the appropriate formula. Students who learn these topics may succeed in gaining high scores on end-of-chapter exams in textbooks, while lacking the conceptual understanding required to deal with problems in the real world.…

In this paper, we examine the relationships between teachers' subject matter preparation and experience in teaching and their performance on an instrument measuring mathematical knowledge for teaching Algebra 1. We administered the same instrument to two different samples of teachers-high school practicing teachers and community college…

K-12 schools were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing them to adopt online teaching strategies. This study filled a research void by investigating how high school math teachers view online teaching and learning. It expanded online learning research by exploring more high school experiences and offered insight into the experiences…

The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the drawbacks and benefits of teaching various levels of secondary mathematics using the theoretical frameworks of positioning theory and micropolitical theory. This problem of practice was brought to my attention by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) when they…

Rising numbers of English learners (ELs) being placed in general education high school mathematics classrooms with underprepared teachers is an increasing concern in U.S. public schools. Despite its importance, there has been little research on how to best support high school mathematics teachers in their attempt to teach both the highly…

The fear of failure stops students from thinking logically and processing information in mathematics. Creating an appropriate classroom climate based on every student's ability is crucial to overcoming the prejudices associated with mathematics. In this regard, this study aims to create the best classroom climate approach that will increase…

In spite of the massive body of work reconceptualizing school mathematics in keeping with progressive approaches, research has shown that many school mathematics teachers still opt for more traditional methods. The present study sheds light on the mechanisms that shape mathematics teachers' knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices and…

With increased focus on data literacy and data science education in K-12, little is known about what makes a data set preferable for use by classroom teachers. Given that educational designers often privilege authenticity, the purpose of this study is to examine how teachers use features of data sets to determine their suitability for authentic…

The author briefly reviews studies on the math teaching of secondary school students with mild intellectual disabilities. Then, the author demonstrates ways to teach secondary-level mathematics to students with mild intellectual disabilities. In this article, readers will learn about how to use manipulatives, diagrams, and gestures to support…

In the research described in this paper, we explored the way Palestinian teachers use the Arabic language to teach mathematics in Arabic. First, we address the issue from an historical overview of the context of study. The historical overview allows us to situate the current context of teaching mathematics in Arabic in Palestine. We rely on…

This study sought to ascertain how Senior High School mathematics teachers perceived Continuous Assessment (CA) and used CA scores. It also explored relationships between teachers' perceptions of CA and their use of CA scores as well as the difficulties mathematics teachers faced administering CA. One hundred sixty (160) Senior High School…
