Michael Jarry-Shore; Alexander Richardson – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2025
Productive struggle is crucial to students' mathematics learning. However, it has proven difficult for teachers to sustain struggle when it is productive or make it so when it is not. Studies show that teachers may offer students support when their struggles are productive or even refrain from offering support when students' struggles are…

Peter Klosterman – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
In his work leading professional development, Peter Klosterman found that teachers specifically asked for help teaching optimisation more effectively. To address challenges students often experience solving optimisation problems, he explains useful pedagogical strategies to support the teaching of optimisation and student learning in this topic.

Luis E. Hernández-Zavala; Claudia Acuña-Soto; Vicente Liern – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Students often instrumentally use variables and unknowns without considering the variational thinking behind them. Using parameters to modify the coefficients or unknowns in equations or systems of linear equations (without altering their structure) involves consciously incorporating variational thinking into problem-solving. We will test the…

Rafi' Safadi; Nadera Hawa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Graded Troubleshooting (GTS) is a powerful routine that teachers can use easily to engender students' metacognitive thinking and boost their understanding of mathematics concepts and procedures. This article describes a new GTS activity designed to prompt students to efficiently exploit worked examples when asked to diagnose erroneous examples…

OECD Publishing, 2025
As education systems adapt to evolving societal and technological demands, mathematics curricula must also evolve. Recent trends highlight challenges such as declines in student performance and gaps between intended learning goals and real-world applications. Integrating competencies like data literacy, computational thinking, and problem-solving…

Blerina Çibukçiu – Discover Education, 2025
This study examines the impact of constructivist methods on students' performance in mathematical problem-solving, which is a significant issue in contemporary educational research. Traditional teaching methods, which are often oriented towards rote learning and memorization, have limitations in increasing students' performance in solving…

Jaleh Rezaei; Nasim Asghary – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Mathematical modelling is an interlinking process between mathematics and real-world problems that can be applied as a means to increase motivation, develop cognitive competencies, and enhance the ability to transfer mathematical knowledge to other areas of science, such as engineering disciplines. This study was designed to investigate the effect…

Ally Patterson; Robin Moyher; Robert Pasnak; Barbara J. Kaminski – Education and Treatment of Children, 2025
As early as first grade, some children are more likely than others to perform arithmetic using inefficient or other overt counting strategies. To partially address this problem, the primary investigator developed a skill hierarchy with procedures based on applied behavior analysis. The novel early-intervention program included a combination of…

Tanvir Prince – Numeracy, 2024
This research centers on implementing Quantitative Reasoning (QR) within a differential equations course at an urban public community college. As a participant in the Numeracy Infusion for College Educators (NICE) faculty development program, I sought to integrate QR skills into my curriculum. Students in the course were introduced to QR goals…

Sandra Boamah; Emmanuel Asemani; Emmanuel Kabutey Koranteng; Ronald Osei Mensah – Discover Education, 2025
This research examined the impact of the Cognitive-Communicative (C-C) model as a pedagogical strategy for teaching algebraic word problems (AWPs). The C-C model integrates structured dialogue, concept clarification, and systematic problem-solving steps to enhance students' comprehension and reasoning. Employing a mixed-methods framework, the…

Lóa Björk Jóelsdóttir; Paul Andrews – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper we present a novel adaptation of a tri-phase assessment tool, originally devised to investigate students' linear equations-related strategy flexibility, to evaluate Danish grade-six students' multidigit arithmetic-related strategy adaptivity and flexibility. Participants, 731 students, median age 12 years and drawn from 20…

Nurfirzanah Muhamad Fadzil; Sharifah Osman – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Collaborative learning is a group learning paradigm in which individuals or students work together to solve problems or complete tasks, exemplifying the essence of collective educational efforts. There are a lot of collaborative learning methods available; however, finding one that is suitable for the complex nature of mathematical problem-solving…

Background and Aims: There is currently a dearth of tools to assess parents' use of effective interactive strategies for supporting early mathematics learning. One potential such strategy is sustained shared thinking. This study therefore constructed and validated a scale for measuring parents' use of sustained shared thinking during joint…
