This article presents a curricular reasoning model developed based on research conducted with middle grades teachers as they planned, taught, and reflected on a geometric transformations unit. Teachers can use the model to become aware of their own curricular reasoning to make key mathematical decisions as they plan and teach their lessons. While…

Digital curricula can constrain teachers with ready-made instructional materials. The authors used Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) to modify a digital curriculum to engage students in more thoughtful and meaningful lessons. In this article, the authors visit one of their third-grade classrooms, in which they used the prescriptive digital…

The objective of this research is to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in developing academic achievement and ensuring survival of the learning impact of the mathematics among female secondary stage students. To achieve this objective, an experimental approach was applied. This consisted of a quasi-experimental design comprising…

This study offers a comprehensive investigation of 14-15-year-old students' comprehension of non-Euclidean geometries, with a specific focus on the assessment of their understanding through a 15-itemed test. The primary objective of this research is to assess the current state of students' knowledge and proficiency in non-Euclidean geometries and…

Sequences are an important topic--not only in mathematics but also in the mathematics curriculum. Exploring sequences related to medial triangles offers learners opportunities to solve problems involving sequences within geometric contexts. Sequences related to medial triangles are also a rich source of beautiful and interesting geometric patterns…

We characterize the thematic trends of the "Geometry and its Applications Meeting." This meeting is held periodically in Colombia, country in which our study was carried out. We used a taxonomy of key terms specific to mathematics education to code the proceedings of this meeting. The study variables are purpose, educational level,…

Robust understanding of geometry is important for students' future studies in mathematical sciences, many careers, and for understanding the world around them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand the geometric thinking levels of 9th graders in Ghana before they enter the Senior High School. This study used the van Hiele theory (Van…

Promoting reasoning is the goal of mathematics education. While reasoning behaviours can be observed, how to characterise them and nurture their growth remains ambiguous. In this article, we report our effort in drafting a learning progression and geometric thinking model and using them to investigate Australian students' geometric reasoning…

This study is an attempt to design and develop as well as validate sets of Online Instructional Materials in Mathematics VI at selected elementary schools in DCS, Manila, specifically, focused on the study of Geometry and Measurement. Using both documentary analysis and descriptive method of study, two (2) major groups of respondents were chosen…

The present study aims to compare the geometry standards in U.S. Common Core State Standards of Mathematics (CCSSM) and Chinese Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (CMCS) through the lens of van Hiele levels. The study considered a standard unit as one or multiple learning expectation(s) and placed each learning expectation into…

Integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (iSTEM) education allow learners to utilize multiple disciplinary perspectives. However, the discipline of mathematics remains underrepresented in iSTEM curriculum. To explore the nature of mathematical thinking with an iSTEM curricular approach that emphasizes mathematics, we…

We re-examine a Malawian teacher's lessons which, using the framework of mathematic problem-solving developed by Polya, the typology of levels of task demand from Stein and colleagues and Malawi's description of learner-centred education (LCE), were described as teacher-centred and evaluated as 'not good'. We studied seven video-recorded circle…

South Australia's PISA performance has been in constant decline since 2003 with the proportion of PISA participants meeting the Australian national proficient standard dropping from 73% (in 2003) to 50% (in 2018). In contrast, Singapore is a consistently strong performer. To better understand student readiness in answering PISA questions, this…

For teachers to integrate ethnomathematics approaches, it is essential to understand their views related to the implementation challenges of such approaches. In schools, teachers held previous views and experiences that influenced their integration of ethnomathematics approaches. This study investigates school-related factors that impede the…

This article presents a didactic situation focused on geometric reasoning using 3D GeoGebra, using the concepts Theory of Didactical Situations (TDS). The objective of this work is to bring a didactic proposal for the teaching of Spatial Geometry, working with the students' geometric perception, oriented and elaborated based on the dialectic of…
