Melody García-Moya; Susana Marcos; Raquel Fernández-Cézar – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
Many gifted students fail to be diagnosed, preventing them from receiving an education that is adapted to their characteristics, with activities that challenge their minds. Mathematics is one of the subjects in which they can demonstrate talent, where they often exhibit high skills in solving problems, handling numbers and performing spatial…

Susan Boyd; Liza Bondurant; Annalise Johnson – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Building activities can be used any time in the school year in mathematics classes to promote problem solving, perseverance, and to develop students' spatial thinking. Spatial visualization skills are the "ability to mentally manipulate, rotate, twist, or invert a pictorially presented stimulus object." The authors were guided by the…

Zahra Pourazima; Vahid Borji; Hassan Alamolhodaei – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
The basic notions of combinatorics, including systematic listing and permutations, are important topics of mathematics that are recommended to be learned eventually from elementary schools. However, there is little research in mathematics education regarding elementary students' combinatorial strategies. The purpose of this research is to…

Parlakian, Rebecca – ZERO TO THREE, 2023
The learning that happens before school entry provides children with a strong foundation on which to build new conceptual understandings. In particular, mathematical skills predict later math and reading outcomes in elementary school. This article summarizes existing research on equity-based math instructional approaches and provides a rationale…

Geneviève Barabé – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
This article aims to illustrate how the collective resolution of routine mathematical tasks can give rise to uncertainties, fostering and supporting a rich and authentic mathematical activity. While solving routine tasks may not typically be classified as problem-solving, the research presented in this paper shows that, at the collective level,…

Stillman, Gloria Ann; Brown, Jill P. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
This paper investigates students' mathematical modeling activity in data-rich modeling tasks. It aims at gaining insight into how students develop meaning when modeling data-rich situations and the mathematical models produced. A tendency to model a particular dataset, rather than the phenomenon that the dataset is a particular instance of, has…

Wahid Yunianto; Guillermo Bautista Jr.; Bungkus Dias Prasetyo; Zsolt Lavicza – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
As computational thinking (CT) is new to teachers, they need support on how CT integration will work. This study examines the use of a hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) to support teachers in integrating computational thinking into mathematics lessons utilizing GeoGebra. By employing the educational design research (EDR) methodology, the…

Eka Senjayawati; Muhamad Galang Isnawan; Sugiman; Elly Arliani – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
Problem-solving ability was one of the competencies that students had to have, but it became more important when learning mathematics. Quite a lot of research has studied this ability, but not much has studied how to optimise it, especially using didactical design research based on lesson study. Participants in this research were 10 students…

Jørgen Sjaastad – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2024
Years of failed attempts to engage my mathematics teacher students in exploration and co-creation led me to radically change my teaching approach. Inspired by literature that uses the jazz improv metaphor for teaching, I derived three tenets based on principles from jazz improv. First, I would bring no more than a single problem-solving task to…

Mohamad Ikram Zakaria; Chuzairy Hanri; Sri Hastuti Noer; Mella Triana; Widyastuti – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
Education 4.0 strongly promotes the development of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4C) skills among students. Consequently, it is crucial for mathematics teachers to integrate activities that facilitate the cultivation of these skills. However, the scarcity of resources, such as recommended instructional…

Sum Kwing Cheung; Audrey Pui Lam Ho; Bertha H. C. Kum; Winnie Wai Lan Chan – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
The home math environment is vital for early math development. Yet, there is limited understanding of how parents translated their attitudes towards helping children learn math (HCLM) into actions to influence their young children's math-related outcomes. Thus, the present study examined whether parents' perceived competence, value, and pressure…

Baumanns, Lukas; Rott, Benjamin – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
In research on mathematical problem posing, a broad spectrum of different situations is used to induce the activity of posing problems. This review aims at characterizing these so-called problem-posing situations by conducting three consecutive analyses: (1) By analyzing the openness of potential problem-posing situations, the concept of…

Aviña González, María José; Monroy, Angelina Alvarado – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
This paper presents the design and analysis of a Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA), which aims to support the refinement of the conceptual system associated with directly proportional distribution problems (example: linear function, percentage, proportion, variation, etc.). The situation explores a context that is close to the student, encouraging…

Polat, Kubra; Akgun, Levent – Education Reform Journal, 2020
There are opinions about approaching the proof in mathematics education need to change as providing students to understand the mathematical proof rather than developing formal mathematical proof skills. In this context, proofs without words described as informal proofs can be used in proof teaching. The purpose of this study was to investigate the…
