There has been a notable number of respectable studies in mathematical creativity and its promotion in education with K-12 pupils. Nonetheless, when it comes to mathematics education in higher education, there is not a wide variety of studies. One can observe that the mathematics content in higher education is completely different from the K-12…

This study looked at the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students' mathematical outcomes by incorporating varied content, processes, and products. Employing a mixed-methods experimental design, the research hypothesized that differentiated instruction significantly influences students' performance in mathematics exams. The…

Kindergartners' math skills predict later academic outcomes. However, we know little about kindergarten mathematics instruction. Using data from 182 classroom observations in a large urban district, we explore time spent on mathematics and math content coverage. We also examine two underinvestigated aspects of kindergarten math instruction: (1)…

Personas, initially originated in user experience research, are short and simplified representations of particular user groups, and this methodological approach has recently gained ground in educational research. This study aims to explore aspects of personas that may be beneficial for prospective mathematics teachers when they develop digital…

This study investigated effective teaching strategies for enhancing mathematical fundamentals in Key Stage 1, specifically in Kindergarten and Grade 1, under the newly implemented MATATAG Curriculum. Anchored on the principle that early numeracy forms the foundation for future academic success. The research addressed the gap in instructional…

In "School Rethink 2.0," editors Frederick M. Hess, Michael B. Horn, and Juliet Squire gather leaders immersed in the nuts-and-bolts work of educational reinvention to present ten promising education improvements and ways to implement them. Contributors, including acclaimed education pioneers Sal Khan, Beth Rabbitt, and Larry Berger,…

Mathematically gifted students need differentiated tasks in mixed-ability classrooms, and studies evaluating the use of these tasks in classrooms are of crucial importance. Thus, the present study examines how the use of differentiated tasks nurtures mathematically gifted students from the perspectives of mathematics teachers and their gifted…

This study investigates the beliefs and practices of preservice teachers (PSTs) concerning equitable mathematics instruction for diverse learners. Through a comprehensive analysis of lesson plans and reflective essays, we identify key themes that emerge in PSTs' approaches to teaching mathematics. The findings indicate that PSTs employ various…
