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…

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…

Nicholas Gorgievski; Thomas DeFranco – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
In most mathematics textbooks, each lesson is followed by a set of homework problems in one of two ways -- blocked practice and mixed practice. Additionally, most mathematics textbooks rely on a common learning strategy called overlearning, that is, mastering a skill and continuing to practice this same skill. This study investigated the effects…

Mustafa Serkan Pelen – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
The main purpose of this research is to examine the informal strategies of fifth and sixth grade students while solving inverse proportional word problems. Multiple case study was used in this study. The research was carried out in a public middle school from a southern city of Türkiye. The participants of the research consist of three fifth and…

Enoch Kabinaa Suglo – Online Submission, 2024
The study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating deep learning strategies in mathematics instruction on students' problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, academic achievement, and mathematical skills development. The study population consisted of 280 students, with a sample size of 162 participants. Employing a purely…

Hamidah; Zaenuri; Isnarto; Arief Agoestanto – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
This study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills.…

Pede I. Casing; Leah Mae R. Casing – Online Submission, 2024
In the 21st century, the demand for proficiency in mathematics has escalated, as it underpins critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation in various fields. Recognizing the significance of mathematics education, after-school programs have emerged as potent supplementary platforms to enhance students' mathematical skills and achievement.…

In this convergent mixed methods design study, single-subject and qualitative data were collected concurrently to provide an in-depth picture of the impact of a modified schema-based instructional intervention. The intervention was delivered using instructional trials embedded across general education math lessons and a modified…

Kelly M. McGinn; Julie L. Booth; Alexandra Huyghe; Laura K. Young; M. Suzanne Donovan – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
Prior short-term studies have shown the effectiveness of worked examples and self-explanation prompts in improving elementary students' mathematics knowledge. However, year-long classroom-based interventions have been tested only with older students. The purpose of the current study was to explore the effectiveness of a year-long classroom…

Lucenta, Amy; Kelemanik, Grace – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Students often look to the standard algorithm, which requires rewriting the task, regrouping tens to create enough ones to subtract, and other opportunities to make errors. However, when the authors apply structural thinking, the resultant strategy is an efficient and elegant shortcut and even brings a positive connotation to the word…

Mayra Zulay Suárez Rodríguez; Ana Isabel Sacristán – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
In this report we show an investigation of how high-school students learn strategies to find intermediate numbers in an interval to understand the property of numerical density. Research has shown that some high-school students have difficulty in understanding this property. To mitigate this difficulty, we proposed a Hypothetical Learning…

Mario de la Puente; Carlos de Oro; Jose Torres; Maria Ripoll; Heidy Rico Fontalvo – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Over a sixteen-week term, the study dove into how chess could enhance math skills for eleventh graders at three public schools in Cartagena, Colombia. It assumed that chess would sharpen their minds and problem-solving prowess. Seventy-one pupils took part, trying out a chess-centric way of learning. Researchers used multiple statistical…

Foster, Colin – Curriculum Journal, 2023
Problem solving is widely regarded as a fundamental feature within the school mathematics curriculum. However, there is considerable disagreement over what exactly problem solving is, and if and how it can be taught. In this article, I define problems as non-routine tasks and propose the explicit teaching of domain-specific problem-solving tactics…

Using Balacheff's (2013) model of conceptions, we inferred potential conceptions in three examples presented in the spanning sets section of an interactive linear algebra textbook. An analysis of student responses to two similar reading questions revealed additional strategies that students used to decide whether a vector was in the spanning set…

Pellerzi, Laura Ann Weinberg – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The application of decomposition strategies (i.e., associative or distributive strategies) in two-digit multiplication problem solving supports algebraic thinking skills essential for later complex mathematical skills like solving algebra problems. Use of such strategies is also associated with improved accuracy and speed in mathematical problem…
