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…

Representing repeating nonterminating decimals as rational numbers is a topic introduced in the seventh-grade Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. According to Content Standard 7.NS.2.D., students should be able to represent a rational number as a decimal and understand that the decimal will either end in zeros or eventually repeat (NGO…

In an age when distance learning has become part of the "new normal," educators know that rich remote math teaching involves more than direct instruction, online videos, and endless practice problems on virtual activity sheets. Using both personal experience and those of teachers in real K-grade 12 online classrooms, distance learning…

This study aimed to reveal mathematical modeling processes and difficulties encountered in model-eliciting activities (MEAs) of 8thgrade students in a STEM education setting. This qualitative research is a case study conducted at a public school located in the central districts of a large province in the Mediterranean Region. The participants of…

Algebraic thinking is a method of solving math problems that stresses the significance of general connections. Excellent algebraic thinking necessitates strong symbolization and generalization ability. Students aged 7 to 15 are at the Piaget thinking stage's formal operational stage. Teachers, especially those working with secondary school…

During a typical family mathematics night (FMN), families are invited to a school, and parents and guardians work on mathematics activities with their children while teachers facilitate activities and share information on how to better support children in their mathematical development. How might this engagement change when information is not…

Do you work tirelessly to make your math lessons meaningful, challenging, accessible, and engaging? Do you spend hours you don't have searching for, adapting, and creating tasks to provide rich experiences for your students that supplement your mathematics curriculum? Help has arrived! "Classroom Ready-Rich Math Tasks for Grades K-1"…

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 on Education in Indonesia affects school activities rapidly. Teachers are no longer educated in classrooms only, but they can also utilize technology to conduct distance learning. One interactive application that can be used as a form of question exercise is Quizizz. Therefore, this research aims to:…

This article explores teaching practices described in NCTM's Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. Student thinking, a learning cycle, and procedural fluency are discussed in this article, which is the second installment in the series. [For the first installment in this series see "Promoting a Conceptual Understanding…

In this 21st century, learners are required to be able to adapt to new challenges so that they can solve problems in the real world. This poses challenges in learning, especially online learning, which will continue to grow. This research aims to produce worksheets for prospective teachers using the Interactive Case-Based Learning (ICBL) model…

The present study aimed to examine the relations of early numeracy activities and skills to mathematics dispositions, engagement, and achievement among 26,859 fourth graders in the United Arab Emirates who took part in the sixth cycle of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2015. The study also explored the…

Research shows that frequent, high-quality mathematics talk that is shared between parents and children can increase mathematics achievement. This article describes ways in which teachers can support parents in increasing the frequency and quality of parent-child mathematics interactions, leading to better outcomes for students.

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…

Three mathematics education researchers discuss their findings on the use of diagrams in math instruction for English language learners. The authors show how diagrams can help students who are English learners better develop mathematical thinking and communicate their mathematical understanding.

Semiotics is simply defined as the sign-using to represent a mathematical concept in a problem-solving. Semiotic reasoning of constructing concept is a process of drawing a conclusion based on object, representamen (sign), and interpretant. This paper aims to describe the phases of semiotic reasoning of elementary students in constructing the…
