This paper describes a project that sought to simultaneously facilitate the mathematical learning of both preservice teachers (PSTs) and schoolchildren. The project involved the organization of community Math Stations related to research-based number sense activities and was integrated within two university-level courses. This article describes…

When it comes to content courses for prospective secondary teachers, mathematics faculty's intentions conflict with teachers' experiences: while faculty aim to influence teachers' future teaching, many teachers find these courses irrelevant to teaching. In this study, we investigate mathematics faculty's goals for content courses for prospective…

Virtually all national standards now require students and teachers to understand the particulars of disciplinary literacy. But recently emerging scholarship suggests that disciplinary literacy is, by itself, an incomplete and potentially problematic approach to secondary literacy instruction. By asking students to "think like" or even…

This article presents an analysis of a team-teaching approach, applied in two learning spaces: a regular mathematics classroom; and a hairdressing salon at an upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) school. A mathematics teacher and a VET teacher jointly developed, planned and carried out the teaching activities in these two…

This article investigates use of digital storytelling as a learning activity in education about migration. Based on a study in two Norwegian schools and two adult education centers for refugees and migrants, the article analyzes student's digital stories and observations of the process of production. Counter to research on the promise of digital…

This research aims to see and describe the types of questions posed by prospective teachers in learning concepts, principles, procedures and mathematical facts. The mathematics learning is an activity undertaken by teachers, students and learning environments in learning the mathematical material. The mathematics learning, in this case, is the…

Historical and current educational perspectives are epistemologically challenging to weave together. The contributors brought together in this book have risen to that challenge and, in the process, have produced a detailed and thorough account of the issues and processes at play. Science, Mathematics, and Technology (SMT) education is recognised…

This unique Australian paper presents a study involving a Western Victorian District High School year nine mathematics class using social justice pedagogy to learn Mathematics. The class was comprised of gifted students, mainstream students and students who had diagnosed learning disabilities, all key foci in Australian Education research. The…

In many of the secondary classrooms across the country, including the research site for this study, students are passively engaged in the mathematics content, and academic performance can be described, at best, as mediocre. This action research study sought to bring about improvements in student engagement and performance in the secondary…

The aim of the 2018 International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive…

Study of circular transformation and its associated properties is proposed as review and reinforcement of familiar concepts and for developing broader understanding of transformations. Inversion on a circle is discussed in some detail. (MNS)

Brief articles concern solving a polynomial equation of degree greater than two, an approach for teaching an ambiguous case in trigonometry, and built-in functions on calculators and computers. Two computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Included in this section are activities on checking with magic squares, general equations for a reflection in a line, little-known facts about the quadratic function, discovery involving volume, and conic sections. (MNS)

Doing mathematics includes the activities of making observations, searching for patterns, formulating conclusions called conjectures, and verifying these conjectures. Presented is an activity that develops pattern discovery and measurement skills using a protractor, compass, and ruler by drawing various stars. Appropriate worksheets and directions…

This teacher's guide is designed for teaching BASIC and introducing students to the use of the computer by means of a series of short written lessons. The purpose of such a series is so that classroom time required for the series would not seriously hinder the progress of the normal course of study, and each student would have an opportunity to…
