The Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs; CCSSI, 2010) describe mathematical behaviors and habits that students should express during mathematics instruction. Teacher candidates should have knowledge about the SMPs and their implications for mathematical instruction. This study aims to share the validity evidence for interpretations of…

This study aims to analyze the levels of integration and the scientific, mathematical, and technological skills present in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities included in secondary education textbooks in Chile. The research addresses theoretical elements such as the conceptualization of STEM education, its…

Parental involvement in children's education has benefits throughout a child's academic career. Researchers and educators have developed parental involvement programs, the most effective being those that teach parents to understand open-ended mathematics problems, allowing time for children to think, share their mathematical understanding, and…

Functions and graphs are fundamental mathematical concepts in mathematics and are vital to helping students comprehend the relationship between variables and other advanced topics in higher-level mathematics. Research has shown that students continually possess misconceptions and inaccurate thinking about functions and function representations.…

This research was conducted to examine the views of preschool teachers regarding out-of-school learning environments for mathematics activities and their usage of these environments. The research was conducted out using a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 42 preschool teachers working in…

Quantitative reasoning is a critical skill in biology and has been highlighted as a core competency by "Vision and Change." Despite its importance, students often struggle to apply mathematical skills in new contexts in biology, a process called transfer of knowledge. However, the supports and barriers that students perceive for this…

Although cognitive and environmental factors are both vital in shaping young children's math abilities, a comprehensive integration of these domains is necessary to understand fully how these interconnected influences related children's math abilities. Especially the executive function (EF), home and school environment are the most primary factors…

Relations of reading and math skills are well-documented. Using open randomized reading intervention data, we examined a reading intervention's impact on math fluency and problem-solving as well as the mechanisms of reading intervention's relation to math fluency. Twenty-eight teachers and 511 first-grade students (82% White, 6% Hispanic, 53%…

Background: Performance in fraction word problems in primary school indicates that learners face challenges when working with fraction word problems, despite their frequent use of textbooks as learning materials. Aim: This article presents a comparative analysis of three commonly used Grade 6 mathematics textbooks, with the objective of evaluating…

'Success' is a frequently cited yet ambiguously defined term in mathematics education, often carrying contradictory meanings and messages. We surveyed 139 Australian teachers of mathematics to determine their conceptions of 'success'. This paper documents teachers' responses to an alternate word or phrase for 'success'. Thematic analysis…

The purpose of this study is to investigate how mathematics-emphasised STEM PBL lessons develop pre-service teachers' creative thinking skills in mathematics. A sequential mixed-methods study was applied to deeply understand the results from the quantitative part of the study through qualitative analysis. While pre-service teachers' creative…

Students have different study habits from one another and from location to location. It is a crucial component of education since students' study practices have a big effect on their achievement in academics. Parents, educators, administrators, and members of the public are increasingly concerned about the poor level of mathematical comprehension…

Technical skills related to basic mathematics in higher education have been a key foundation for further allied courses across primary programmes. While the traditional learning strategies appear to be inadequate to enhance the basic mathematics skills of university students, digital mathematical games pose the potential to improve such a set of…

This paper, which is based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork with a young female refugee-background student, attends to the evolution of the student's math identity shortly after arrival to the U.S. More specifically, it highlights the ways in which the student's background knowledge and competence with the subject impacted her performance…

This research aims to improve the numeracy abilities of secondary students after using the Labirin: the board game and students' perceptions of mathematics learning using the game. This empirical study research used a one-group pretest posttest design. The research population is all grade-8 students in one of the Islamic public secondary schools…
