Stéphanie Chouteau; Benoît Lemaire; Catherine Thevenot; Jasinta Dewi; Karine Mazens – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
It is commonly accepted that repeatedly using mental procedures results in a transition to memory retrieval, but the determinant of this process is still unclear. In a 3-week experiment, we compared two different learning situations involving basic additions, one based on counting and the other based on arithmetic fact memorization. Two groups of…

Kojic, Vedran; Krpan, Mira; Lukac, Zrinka – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
One of the fundamental topics taught in the microeconomics class is minimizing economic costs. It includes understanding the concept of derivatives and applying them. However, most of the first-year undergraduate students find calculus difficult to understand, which also results in poor knowledge of optimization. We use the method based on the…

Lindsay Vance; Joanne Caniglia; Michelle Meadows – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
Despite the research regarding the importance of peer review and feedback in pre-service special education teachers, there exists a gap in teaching complex mathematical concepts such as fractional operations. This study sought to address this gap by investigating how pre-service teachers can effectively appraise and revise peer-generated teaching…

Roan, Elizabeth; Czocher, Jennifer – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Literature typically describes mathematization, the process of transforming a real-world situation into a mathematical model, in terms of desirable actions and behaviors students exhibit. We attended to STEM undergraduate students' quantitative reasoning as they derived equations. Analysis of the meanings they held for arithmetic operations (+, -,…

Jarry-Shore, Michael; Kobiela, Marta – Elementary School Journal, 2020
In this study, we decomposed the broad practice of deciphering multiple solution strategies. We conducted interviews with 11 preservice elementary teachers, in which we asked teachers to decipher students' standard and nonstandard strategies to multiplication and division problems. We examined what teachers said and did--what we refer to as…

Putra, Zetra Hainul; Dahnilsyah; Aljarrah, Ayman – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
Mathematical and didactic knowledge presented in mathematics textbooks and other resources, like mathematics comics (MCs), needs to be evaluated from a lens of appropriate theoretical framework in mathematics education before it can be used as a medium for teaching and learning mathematics. Therefore, this study investigates mathematical and…

Ndlovu, Zanele A.; Chiromo, Lytion – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019
Background: Teaching using manipulatives is emphasised, especially in the early grades, to help learners conceptualise operations on whole numbers. Therefore, teachers' competencies in using manipulatives is the key in helping learners master these basic operation skills. Aim: Drawing from the literature on using manipulatives to improve learners'…

Iwuanyanwu, Paul Nnanyereugo – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2021
The way mathematics teaching and learning activities are presented to learners can make them hate or like the subject. The question of accomplishing the mathematics education of the learner from primary to post-secondary school levels is one which necessarily tasks, not only the teacher's stock of mathematical knowledge but also his skill, his…

Shahbari, Juhaina Awawdeh; Tabach, Michal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The modelling approach to teaching and learning mathematics emphasizes the usefulness of mathematics in the real-world. The aim of the current study is to examine whether engagement in modelling activities provides learners an opportunity to expand their knowledge of a specific concept -- the "average" concept. Our data include…

Yurniwati, Yurniwati; Yarmi, Gusti – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2020
Fractions remain a difficult concept for students at the elementary level. On that ground, prospective teachers need to develop the conceptual knowledge to have a deep understanding of the concept and how the concepts are related to each other. Furthermore, they must be able to explain the concepts through media in the form of concrete objects or…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Jahangiri, Jay M. – Cogent Education, 2018
The article is dedicated to solving extrema problems in teaching mathematics, without using calculus. We present and discuss a wide variety of mathematical extrema tasks where the extrema are obtained and find their solutions without resorting to differential. Particular attention is paid to the role of arithmetic and geometric means inequality in…

Sitrava, Reyhan Tekin; Isik, Ahmet – Online Submission, 2018
The purpose of this case study is to examine the problems that prospective primary school teachers posed related to the basic mathematical operations with whole numbers and to determine their problem posing abilities. The data was collected from seventy-two prospective primary school teachers through the Semi-Structured Problem Posing…

Lim, Kien H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
An exploratory study was conducted to investigate the use of magic activities in a math course for prospective middle-school math teachers. This research report focuses on a lesson using two versions of math magic: (1) the "5-4-3-2-1-½ Magic" involves having students choose a secret number and apply six arithmetic operations in sequence…

Aparicio Landa, Eddie; Sosa Moguel, Landy; Cabañas-Sánchez, Guadalupe – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
This article examines the development of professional knowledge in pre-service mathematics teachers. From the discussion of a task associated with the multiplication of consecutive integer numbers, generalization is recognized as a process that allows to explore, to explain, and to validate mathematical results, and as an essential ability to…
