Tim Erickson – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
This is the third in a series of articles describing CODAP and where it might be used to address content in the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" v9.0 (ACARA, 2022). We've talked before about model-ling and about statistics; this time, we'll talk about exploring probability using CODAP. As before, we have also prepared online pages…

Shengqing He; Chen Chen – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Students expose various intuitions in probability comparison and calculation tasks. Large volumes of research looked into these intuitions by categorizing learners' strategies, but fewer studies considered how these intuitions may be associated with learners' judgments. Even fewer examined the mixed effects of multiple intuitions held by the same…

Ergene, Özkan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this study, it was aimed to examine the probability problems which were posed based on continuous sample space and discrete sample space. Participants of the study consisted of 48 university students selected by using the convenience sampling method. Eight tasks related to continuous and discrete variables were designed by the researcher. Eight…

Sulfiah, Sitti Karimah; Cholily, Yus Mochamad; Subaidi, Agus – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
The ability to understand mathematics is a faculty crucial to be possessed by pre-service teachers who will enter into the education sphere. It is one of the professional competencies essential for teachers since satisfactory lessons' delivery engenders more comprehensible instruction in teachers' students. Qualitative research employs a…

Marianna Bosch; Angel Gutierrez; Salvador Llinares – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This survey paper presents recent relevant research in mathematics education produced in Spain, which allows the identification of different broad lines of research developed by Spanish groups of scholars. First, we present and describe studies whose research objectives are related to student learning of specific curricular contents and…

Morris, Noah – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
Problems teaching probability in Tonga (in the South Pacific) led to the question on how language and culture affect the understanding of probability and uncertainty. The research uses a discursive approach to identify the endorsed narratives which underlie Tongans' reasoning in situations of uncertainty. I aim to justify the claim that the Tongan…

Kataoka, Verônica Yumi; Vita, Aida Carvalho; Da Silva, Claudia Borim – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
This article aims to investigate the teaching of chance in the context of tactile models (TM) from the perspective of the Theory of Register of Semiotic Representations. In this qualitative research, we sought to identify the different types of semiotic registers and transformations (treatment and conversion), in the solutions of the tasks of the…

Armiati; Fauzan, Ahmad; Harisman, Yulyanti; Sya'bani, Febrina – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022
This study examines the development of learning designs based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on the probability topic at the eighth-grade junior high school level. Probability abounds in everyday life, and the RME approach is believed to develop students' mathematical communication skills. This learning design development used the Plomp…

Kohlhoff, Pauline – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
The formula for the variance of a binomial distribution is both concise and elegant. However, it is often taught without reference to the underlying reasoning. That being the case, is it important, or useful, to understand why this formula can be used to calculate the requisite result? In this article, the author demonstrates a teaching sequence…

Ekol, George; Mlotshwa, Simphiwe – Pythagoras, 2022
This case study carried out during the 2020 coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown used online data collection means to investigate the distribution of cognitive demand levels of probability and counting principles (PCP) learning tasks in a popular online Grade 12 mathematics textbook, based on the PCP teachers' rating. The teachers'…

Rodney Nillsen – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Equal representation as a social issue is about the participation of one social group, in a particular context, in proportion to the numbers in the group within the total population. The proportion of women in parliament, and of the participation rate of students of lower socioeconomic status in higher education, are examples. The aims of this…

Rotem, Sigal-Hava; Ayalon, Michal – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
The aim of this study is to explore Israeli high school graduates' mathematical explanations for the spread of the coronavirus, given that the mathematics required to do so was part of their school curriculum. An online questionnaire consisting of two sections provided a variety of potential framings for explaining the phenomenon. The first…

Yimam, Mekonnen; Dagnew Kelkay, Asrat – Cogent Education, 2022
This study attempted to develop a literature-informed discourse-based instructional approach and evaluated its effects on eleventh-grade students' conceptual and procedural understandings in probability and statistics. To this end, a quasi-experimental study that involved two control groups and one experimental group was used. One-way analysis of…

Rezat, Sebastian – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
One of the most prevalent features of digital mathematics textbooks, compared to traditional ones, is the provision of automated feedback on students' solutions. Since feedback is regarded as an important factor that influences learning, this is often seen as an affordance of digital mathematics textbooks. While there is a large body of mainly…
