Background: The relevance of developing mental activity for mastering geometric concepts relates to the change in paradigmatic foundations taking place in modern education. Such a change is associated with the recognition of a schoolchild as a subject of educational and cognitive activity, the initiator of own activity. Objective: The authors…

Learning mathematics requires real situations that are often faced by students. using the context that is around students for learning mathematics can make the context of mathematics easy to reach by students. This study meant to determine the effectiveness of mathematics learning based on Javanese vegetable salad context in increasing students'…

We present results from a meta-analysis of 37 contemporary experimental and quasi-experimental studies of summer programs in mathematics for children in grades pre-K-12, examining what resources and characteristics predict stronger student achievement. Children who participated in summer programs that included mathematics activities experienced…

We present results from a meta-analysis of 37 experimental and quasi-experimental studies of summer programs in mathematics for children in Grades pre-K-12, examining what resources and characteristics predict stronger student achievement. Children who participated in summer programs that included mathematics activities experienced significantly…

Making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and an interpretation of graphs of the functions are major challenges to many students. This study explores the effectiveness of the GeoGebra on grade 12 students' success in making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and the interpretation of…

The purpose of this meta-analysis is to examine the effect of problem-posing on students' mathematical academic outcomes, including problem-solving skills, problem-posing skills, mathematical dispositions, and mathematics achievement. Twenty-one studies that were published between 1990 and 2019 with problem-posing as the intervention were included…

With use of web-based homework systems (WBH) increasing in mathematics classrooms, a study was conducted in which 236 secondary mathematics teachers completed a survey assessing the extent to which their beliefs on the effectiveness of WBH varied according to "level of student achievement" and "level of course." Results…

In our multi-method study, feedback levels derived from the well-known feedback model of Hattie and Timperley were used in conjunction with feedback that was related to subject-specific content; here, mathematical reasoning tasks in primary school. Feedback needs to be aligned with the learning process; in the beginning, more task feedback is…

Some researchers in mathematics education have studied the decisions professors make during classroom context activities. These decisions are explained by several factors: 1) how professors conceive the structure of mathematics; 2) what they know about the mathematical content; and, 3) what they consider the best didactic strategies to improve…

Asian schools have consistently demonstrated higher academic achievement in mathematics compared to Western countries, largely due to cultural factors and the intensity of their educational systems. However, this success often comes with increased stress levels, which contribute to math anxiety (MA) among students. Research in cognitive psychology…

The current study examined pictorial and written descriptions of mathematics teaching and learning among a cohort of 120 students (aged 11 to 14 years) in three different lower secondary schools in Ankara, Turkey. A classroom environment with students working in groups or pairs and engaging in open-ended questions or tasks was unavailable. The…

The relationship between teacher interventions and students' mathematical thinking has been the subject of inquiry for quite some time. Using the Pirie-Kieren theory for dynamic growth in mathematical understanding, this study documents teacher interventions that support students' growth toward developing a general understanding of a mathematical…

For many years, multiple representations have played a major role in the teaching and learning of mathematics (NCTM, 2014). The present study defined and investigated a particular phenomenon called representational conflict, which can arise when students simultaneously use multiple representations on the same mathematical task. Representational…

Game-based learning includes instruction and discipline that inculcates authentic game experiences (Cicchino, 2015). This research investigated the use of game-based learning on enhancing the critical thinking of college mathematics students enrolled in the subject Mathematics in the Modern World for the time span of 5 months. The Study Utilized…

The present study aimed to examine the relations of early numeracy activities and skills to mathematics dispositions, engagement, and achievement among 26,859 fourth graders in the United Arab Emirates who took part in the sixth cycle of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2015. The study also explored the…
