Ivette Calderon Calo – Online Submission, 2025
This study describes the experiences of secondary-level mathematics teachers from the Department of Education of Puerto Rico implementing the strategy of contextualized teaching. Qualitative research framed in phenomenology was conducted, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and a review of normative documents from the Department of…

Dole, Shelley; Carmichael, Peter; Thiele, Catherine; Simpson, Jenny; O'Toole, Christine – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2018
This paper reports on results of a targeted and extended (two school terms) program for building Grade 3 and Grade 4 students' facility with number facts and application for mental computation. As part of a larger project, this paper reports results from two schools. Results indicated strong gains in number fact recall and mental computation for…

Kolar-Begovic, Zdenka, Ed.; Kolar-Šuper, Ružica, Ed.; Jukic Matic, Ljerka, Ed. – Online Submission, 2017
The papers in the monograph address different topics related to mathematics teaching and learning processes which are of great interest to both students and prospective teachers. Some papers open new research questions, some show examples of good practice and others provide more information about earlier findings. The monograph consists of six…

Ostler, Elliot; Flesch, Michael – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
This paper justifies the need for, and offers some suggestions on, the selection and implementation of mathematical problems known as dynamic solution exercises (DSEs). The intent of this article is to help provide insight into how mathematics teachers can go about making "vertical articulation" a cooperative and tangible part of the…

Watson, Jane M. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2012
This article compares the definition of "box plot" as used in the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" with other definitions used in the education community; describes the difficulties students experience when dealing with box plots; and discusses the elaboration that is necessary to enable teachers to develop the knowledge…

Varghese, Thomas – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics calls for an increased emphasis on proof and reasoning in school mathematics curricula. Given such an emphasis, mathematics teachers must be prepared to structure curricular experiences so that students develop an appreciation for both the value of proof and for those strategies that will assist them…

Trudgian, Timothy – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2009
One of the difficulties in any teaching of mathematics is to bridge the divide between the abstract and the intuitive. Throughout school one encounters increasingly abstract notions, which are more and more difficult to relate to everyday experiences. This article examines a familiar approach to thinking about negative numbers, that is an…

Li, Qiong; Ni, Yu-jing – Chinese Education and Society, 2012
Focusing on the case of mathematics, this paper reviews debates on China's new Basic Education Curriculum Reform program, including the status of knowledge within the reformed curriculum, the arrangement of the curriculum system, and the push toward real-life applicability and hands-on participation. It discusses the related challenges that…

van Loon-Hillen, Nelleke; van Gog, Tamara; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
A large body of research has shown that for novice learners, instruction that relies more heavily on worked examples than on problem solving, is more effective for learning as shown by higher test performance. Moreover, this beneficial effect is often obtained with less acquisition time and lower cognitive load during acquisition and test phase.…

Lightner, Stanley L. – 1998
This quasi-experimental study used the two group pretest/posttest design to investigate the comparison of the acquisition of mathematics skills between General Mathematics students and Applied Mathematics 1 students. In the 1994-1995 and the 1995-1996 school years the Generalizable Mathematics Skills Assessment was administered to General…

Slaughter, Judith Pollard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Graphs are viewed as extremely useful tools in communication, which enable readers to see at a glance facts that might take several paragraphs to describe adequately. An ability to read graphs critically is seen to be an important objective for any elementary curriculum, and ways to introduce them are presented. (Author/MP)

Bestgen, Barbara; Reys, Robert – Instructor, 1982
Basic strategies for developing computational estimation skills are: (1) the front-end strategy, focusing on the front-end digits of the numbers; (2) the rounding strategy, rounding the original numbers to more manageable numbers; (3) the compatible number strategy, changing the original numbers to ones more similar and more manageable; and (4)…
