Obasi, Chinedu; Ugo, Chima – Online Submission, 2018
Students' mathematics achievements in secondary school have an influential effect on their performance in university and their future careers. There are numerous innovative teaching strategies which are promising and have shown to improve students' achievement in mathematics; one will wonder if there will be corresponding achievement growth in…

Friesen, Marita Eva; Kuntze, Sebastian – Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
Using multiple representations and changing between them is at the heart of the mathematics classroom; unconnected changes can, however, be obstructive for students' learning. In order to support students' learning with multiple representations, teachers have to link observed situation aspects with relevant professional knowledge, a competence we…

Almuna Salgado, Felipe – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This paper reports on a study that examines the effects of problem context on students' performance. The performance of 151 Year 10 students on six mathematical problems was compared with the performance on fifteen variants with more and less context familiarity (CF) and engagement (CE) across levels of context use (LCU). The latter explanatory…

Northrop, Laura; Kelly, Sean – Urban Education, 2018
This study investigates whether adequate yearly progress (AYP) status, locale, and sector--common variables used to judge the quality of schools--accurately signal true differences in instructional practices in high school mathematics and science. Using data from the High School Longitudinal Study (HSLS), we find the school-to-school variation in…

Hegedus, Stephen J.; Dalton, Sara; Tapper, John R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
We report on two large studies conducted in advanced algebra classrooms in the US, which evaluated the effect of replacing traditional algebra 2 curriculum with an integrated suite of dynamic interactive software, wireless networks and technology-enhanced curriculum on student learning. The first study was a cluster randomized trial and the second…

Delacruz, Girlie C.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2010
This study provides empirical evidence of a highly specific use of games in education--the assessment of the learner. Linear regressions were used to examine the predictive and convergent validity of a math game as assessment of mathematical understanding. Results indicate that prior knowledge significantly predicts game performance. Results also…
