Algebra is critical in shaping future mathematics success and is integral to the K-12 curriculum. Despite its inclusion, a common challenge arises as students' progress to higher grades without a solid foundation, resulting in challenging learning experiences. This action research study focuses on the algebraic learning experience of a Grade 7…

An intelligent tutoring system for learning basic statistics, called Stat-Knowlab, is presented and analyzed. The algorithms implemented in the system are based on the competence-based knowledge space theory, a mathematical theory developed for the formative assessment of knowledge and learning. The system's architecture consists of the two…

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability caused by a neurological problem. It is a worldwide problem with a prevalence of 5-10% of the population. It is described mainly by difficulties in reading, spelling, accuracy, fluency, and decoding abilities. This article is chiefly concerned to provide an overview of dyslexia, some key issues based on…

The lack of sufficiently developed methodological basis before graduation adversely affects the mathematical competency of future experts that are required by the modern economy. The study aims to investigate the features of the development of a personalized model of teaching mathematics by means of interactive novels to improve the quality of…

"Numeracy for All Learners" is a wide-ranging overview of how Math Recovery® theory, pedagogy, and tools can be applied meaningfully to special education to support learners with a wide range of educational needs. It builds on the first six books in the Math Recovery series and presents knowledge, resources, and examples for teachers…

The aim of this action research study is to determine how differentiated mathematics stations effect student learning. The research question that guided this study is as follows: How does the implementation of differentiated instruction using math stations impact individual student learning progression on the SLO posttest, unit pretest and post…

This study investigates how the exploration phase of the teacher learning cycle provides 11 novice mathematics teachers with the opportunity to learn about the high-leverage practice of launching a complex task. Findings suggest that the exploration phase of the teacher learning cycle provides novice teachers with opportunities to reflect on how…

Context personalization--the incorporation of students' out-of-school interests into learning tasks--has recently been shown to positively affect students' situational interest and their performance and learning in mathematics. However, few studies have shown effects on both interest and achievement, drawing into question whether context…

Every generation of students comes to the classroom with different needs than that of their predecessors. Implementing new methods and styles of teaching to meet these diverse needs will provide students with the best chance of success in their educational careers. The "Handbook of Research on Pedagogical Models for Next-Generation Teaching…

Individualized learning is the only way to organize mathematics work, says the head of department at Christopher Wren School in London. (Editor)

A discussion of an experiment on learner controlled instruction as opposed to teacher controlled instruction in math and physics instruction. (HB)

The procedures used in the initial development of a Mathematics Laboratory within the Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI) Mathematics Program are reported. The thesis of the report is that in the development of educational programs, especially those which are complex, attention should be directed both to the design of the program and the…

Describes the use of Keller's Personalized System for Instruction with the addition of videotapes, interactive videodisc, and computer-delivered tutorials in an undergraduate mathematics course. Modifications of Keller's plan for British universities are discussed, examination results are studied, and the quality of the learning experience is…

In September 1970, Behavioral Research Laboratories of California (BRL) assumed jurisdiction over the entire curriculum at the Banneker School in Gary, Indiana. The elementary school resembles most well-maintained, well-supported surburban schools, with the one exception that the student body and most of the faculty are black. The program as…

The purpose of this paper is to report on a pilot investigation of the operation of the Bloom and Carroll hypothesis which states that aptitudes are predictive of rate of learning given a situation in which the time allowed for learning is unlimited, and pupil perserverance, ability to understand instruction, and quality of instruction are…
