Timothy H. Lehmann – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Developing students' competence in algorithmic thinking is emerging as an objective of mathematics education, but despite its inclusion in mathematics curricula around the world, research into students' algorithmic thinking seems to be falling behind in this curriculum reform. The aim of this study was to investigate how the mathematical modelling…

Carina Büscher – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

Dyah Worowirastri Ekowati; Toto Nusantara; Makbul Muksar; Dwi Agus Sudjimat – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2024
In learning mathematics in the 21st century and after the COVID-19 pandemic, a multimodal role in the process of drawing conclusions involving mathematical symbols or signs is very much needed. This process is called multimodal semiotic reasoning. This research aims to study the literature on multimodal semiotic reasoning research articles. Until…

Timothy H. Lehmann – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
The aim of this study is to examine how algorithmatizing tasks engage mathematics students in algorithmic thinking. Structured, task-based interviews were conducted with eight Year 12 students as they completed a sequence of algorithmatizing tasks involving maximum flow problems. A deductive-inductive analytical process was used to first classify…

Ünal, Zehra E.; Ala, Asli M.; Kartal, Gamze; Özel, Serkan; Geary, David C. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Sixty (35 girls) ninth graders were assessed on measures of algebraic reasoning and usage of visual and symbolic representations (with a prompt for visual use) to solve equations and inequalities. The study grouped visual representations into two categories: arithmetic-visual, which entailed the use of real-world objects to represent specific…

Athanasios Christopoulos; Stylianos Mystakidis; Justyna Kurczaba; Mikko-Jussi Laakso; Chrysostomos Stylios – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Previous studies have found positive effects of Game-Based Learning for mathematics. While most studies assume that this effect is explained by the presence of flow/immersion during games, this has not yet been established. The aim of the current study is to verify if immersion indeed is associated with mathematical skills improvement when using a…

I Made Suarsana; Al Jupri; Didi Suryadi; Elah Nurlaelah; I Gusti Nyoman Yudi Hartawan – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
Mathematical and computational thinking (CT) are closely interrelated, yet CT integration into mathematics instruction remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the teaching process for straight-line equations in enhancing students' CT skills and to propose improvements based on the findings. A qualitative case study…

Chan, Shiau-Wei; Looi, Chee-Kit; Ho, Weng Kin; Kim, Mi Song – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
The importance of computational thinking (CT) as a 21st-century skill for future generations has been a key consideration in the reforms of many national and regional educational systems. Much attention has been paid to integrating CT into the traditional subject classrooms. This paper describes a scoping review of learning tools for integrating…

Whitney-Smith, Rachael Margaret – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
As we move further into the digital age, the acquisition of digital literacy (DL) and computational thinking (CT) skills is emerging internationally as an essential goal for students in contemporary school curricula. As the world becomes more uncertain and volatile due to impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), international unrest, climate…

Dietz, Charles – Perspectives in Education and Deafness, 1993
Strategies for rapid mental computation are explained, including multiplying by 11 (or 21, 31, etc.); adding columns of numbers; and multiplying 2-digit numbers. Rapid mental computation is suggested as a motivator for investigating the underlying mathematical principles. (DB)

Schwank, Inge – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1993
Differences in students' (aged 12-14) construction and analysis of mathematical algorithms may be explained by the differences between predicative and functional cognitive structures. Analyzes the central role of internal and external representations and the characteristics of each. Discusses prototypical research design and development of a…

McClain, Kay; Cobb, Paul; Bowers, Janet – 1998
This paper discusses an approach to the study of algorithms which values students' construction of nonstandard algorithms but also emphasizes the essential roles of the teacher and instructional activities in supporting the development of students' numerical reasoning. Episodes are presented from a 3rd grade classroom in which a 9-week teaching…
