Ruhama Even; Boaz Silverman – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
When justifying a mathematical statement, textbooks often interweave several instances of justification, creating, what we term, "paths of justification." This study aims to characterize the paths of justification of mathematical statements that are offered in eight 7th grade Israeli mathematics textbooks. The study attended to context…

Polat, Semra; Dede, Yüksel – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2023
This study reports a small part of a large-scale study. In this vein, trends in cognitive demand levels of mathematical tasks in the Algebra Learning Domain of 5 mathematics textbooks prepared according to four middle school mathematics curricula that have been updated since the beginning of the 2000s in Turkey were determined. This study is a…

Seyedehkhadijeh Azimi Asmaroud – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Textbooks play an important role in teachers' instructional decisions (Jones & Tarr, 2007), which consequently affects students' learning. This paper reports on a comparison of the elementary mathematics textbooks used in Iran and the United States, the Go-Math textbook. I analyzed topic sequences, frequency of the tasks, and cognitive demands…

Lia Ardiansari; Didi Suryadi; Dadan Dasari – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Students' difficulties in algebra are generally caused by the use of algebraic notation, the meaning of letters, as well as the types of relationships or methods used. Therefore, interpreting letters in algebra is one of the critical points in the transition from arithmetic to algebra. However, many students have misconceptions in interpreting…

Yunianta, Tri Nova Hasti; Suryadi, Didi; Dasari, Dadan; Herman, Tatang – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2023
The objective of textbook study is to create high-quality textbooks. Analysis was done using a praxeological-didactical analysis (PDA) method. PDA offers space to analyze curriculum materials, such as math textbooks, which are the outcome of human action in the anthropology of a specific nation's society. There are 10 types of tasks given in the…

Mukhtar, Faisal M.; Al-Gahtani, Husain J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Use of three-force member concept for rigid bodies whenever possible, to circumvent the more taxing use of equilibrium equations has been long-established. However, most students fail to reap its benefits due to a number of reasons, including the fact that its importance is hardly emphasized to them; skills and details needed for the concept are…

Schoen, Robert; Whitacre, Ian; Champagne, Zachary – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
Changes in U.S. textbooks indicate that U.S. first-grade students in the Common Core era were exposed to a wider variety of word problem types than students in previous generations were. We compared the performance of U.S. first graders in the Common Core era with that of previous generations in solving 11 types of additive word problems to…

Jennifer Goldin-Weeks – ProQuest LLC, 2024
While contemporary mathematics education literature argues that curricular resources, such as textbooks, play a significant role guiding mathematics teachers in what and how they teach, it also shows that these resources often do not do what they say they will do, nor adhere to the standards they claim to further. When it comes to the most…

Jing Tian; David W. Braithwaite; Robert S. Siegler – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
This study investigated relations between the distribution of practice problems in textbooks and students' learning of decimal arithmetic. In Study 1, we analyzed the distributions of decimal arithmetic practice problems that appeared in 3 leading math textbook series in the United States. Similar imbalances in the relative frequencies of decimal…

Choy, Ban Heng; Lee, Mi Yeon; Mizzi, Angel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Textbooks, which form the staples of a teacher's set of resources, play a critical role in deciding what and how mathematics is taught in classrooms. However, textbooks do not always present concepts in ways that enhance understanding by students, nor are they always comprehensive in the treatment of a topic. In this exploratory study, we analyse…

Alayont, Feryal; Karaali, Gizem; Pehlivan, Lerna – PRIMUS, 2023
In calculus courses, instructors often use the end-of-section problems in a textbook in homework assignments or other course assessments. As a result, these problems influence the teaching and learning of calculus. In this study, we examine the levels of cognitive demand of these problems in a mainstream calculus textbook and classify them within…

Lew, Kristen; Mejía Ramos, Juan Pablo – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
This paper presents the findings from a survey used to investigate how mathematicians perceive the genre of mathematical proof writing at the undergraduate level. Mathematicians were asked whether various proof excerpts highlighted in four partial proofs were unconventional in each one of three pedagogical contexts: undergraduate mathematics…

Bednorz, David; Kleine, Michael – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
The study examines language dimensions of mathematical word problems and the classification of mathematical word problems according to these dimensions with unsupervised machine learning (ML) techniques. Previous research suggests that the language dimensions are important for mathematical word problems because it has an influence on the…

Mesa, Vilma; Goldstein, Bradley – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2017
Using expository text and examples available in 10 college textbooks we identify two conceptions of angles, trigonometric functions, and inverse trigonometric functions that rely on either a static or a dynamic definition of angle. Although the textbooks favor a conception of trigonometric functions that is based on a dynamic conception of angle,…
