This study investigated the effects of a place value intervention with third-grade students with learning disabilities. The intervention added content to a research-based intervention using the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) sequence. The added content reflected current mathematics standards for third grade. Students' place value…

Previous research has shown that students form fragmented understandings about variability even after instruction and that these primitive notions function as obstacles to a robust understanding of variability. To investigate the effect of disruptions to students' primitive notions of variability, we examined undergraduate students' reasoning…

Understanding rational numbers is critical for secondary mathematics achievement. However, students with mathematics difficulties (MD) struggle with rational number topics, including fractions, decimals, and percentages. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the instructional foci of rational number interventions, determine the…

In this paper, we turn to the notion of networking theories with the aim of contrasting two theoretical mathematics education perspectives inspired by Vygotsky's work, namely, the Theory of Objectification and the Documentational Approach to Didactics. We are interested in comparing/contrasting these theories in accordance with the following three…

The purpose of this study was to examine the mathematical creativity of gifted and non-gifted students through the indicators of creativity (fluency, flexibility, and originality). The study involved 12 secondary school students (six gifted and six non-gifted) from different cities in the Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The data were collected…

The aim of this paper is to present a teaching proposal for the theoretical part relating to the first- and second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients suitable for the first-year students at various types of universities. In contradistinction to the methods often applied (memorization of algorithms without a proper…

This article explores the potential of using children's literature in elementary mathematics classrooms as contexts for students to understand more fully the issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Informed by culturally responsive pedagogy, opportunities to link children's literature to mathematics education create cultural relevance for…

This paper explains teaching modern geometry for schools using software called Surfer and converting the algebraic surfaces into Batik motifs as one example of teaching mathematics with the integration of STEAM. Typical algebraic surfaces known in schools were, for example, cylinders and spheres which are identified as traditional geometry in this…

Hybrid learning implementation is closely related with technology. In designing hybrid lessons, lecturers need to have both the pedagogical and content-related skills that make the best use of technology so that it also improves the students' skills, including their computational thinking skills. The purpose of this research is to examine whether…

This study examined the association between humor, motivation, and achievements in mathematics in students with learning disabilities. For this study, 80 sixth-grade students with learning disabilities who attend integrated classes in a general education school were tested using three instruments: a questionnaire about incorporating humor in…

Mathematical reasoning, which plays a critical role in students' capacity to make sense of mathematics, is now emphasised more strongly in various curricula internationally. However, reasoning is sometimes difficult for teachers to recognise, let alone teach. This case study considers video of one teacher's implementation of a problem-solving…

An understanding of concepts related to geometric measurement is considered to be critical to the development of individuals' mathematics knowledge. Specifically, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel's 2008 report listed the skills of area and perimeter as foundational for algebra readiness. Yet, this content knowledge continues to be an…

Geometric habits of mind (GHoM) are the approaches that individuals use to solve geometry problems. This study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic geometry software (DGS) in activating the GHoM of pre-service mathematics teachers. The study was conducted with six teacher candidates who were enrolled in a semester-long course titled…

Educators sometimes effect changes in education through the implementation of new ideas, and sometimes extraordinary circumstances force them to change their educational approaches, as during the COVID-19 crisis. Although we live in a digital age, the limited use of technology in education, particularly prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and…

This study examined repeating and growing pattern knowledge and their associations with procedural and conceptual arithmetic knowledge in a sample of U.S. children (N = 185; M[subscript age] = 79.5 months; 55% female; 88% White) and adults (N = 93; M[subscript age] = 19.5 years; 62% female; 66% White) from 2019 to 2020. Three key findings emerged:…
