In this article, we discuss the academic performance and impact of distance teaching of mathematics in the Moroccan education system. This educational science research, based on exploratory thinking, aimed to show the impact and challenges of distance teaching of mathematics within the Moroccan education system through examining this fundamental…

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) vision for mathematics education is to provide every student with high-quality instruction from highly effective teachers. Achieving this goal requires a solid mathematics curriculum, competent and experienced teachers who can integrate instruction with assessment, classrooms with the proper…

Most mathematicians state mathematics is a field of beauty, creativity, and innovation, yet what is echoed by students is not how mathematics allows students to explore, but rather the ways in which it constrains and does not necessitate creativity. In comparison, many students associate coding with freedom, and the ability to create and express…

We share results from a one-year early algebra classroom intervention. One kindergarten, one first-grade, and one second-grade classroom participated in the intervention and three classrooms of the same grade levels served as control sites. The intervention addressed the structure of even and odd numbers, mathematical equivalence and equations,…

In this article, the authors describe the two interpretations of mathematical expressions, as a process and as a product. They begin with an initial discussion of Tall's (2013) interpretations of expressions and connect this to state standards. Next, they describe the different interpretations of algebraic expressions based on their work with…

Mastery of mathematics depends on the people's ability to manipulate and abstract values such as negative numbers. Knowledge of arithmetic principles does not necessarily generalize from positive number arithmetic to arithmetic involving negative numbers (Prather & Alibali, 2008, https://doi.org/10.1080/03640210701864147). In this study, we…

This study reports a small part of a large-scale study. In this vein, trends in cognitive demand levels of mathematical tasks in the Algebra Learning Domain of 5 mathematics textbooks prepared according to four middle school mathematics curricula that have been updated since the beginning of the 2000s in Turkey were determined. This study is a…

To develop an equity-centered orientation in teacher education programs, it is essential teacher educators recognize what prospective teachers attend to in classroom events and how they relate these events to mathematics instruction. In this study, we conceptualize the Equity Noticing Framework and use it as an analytic tool to examine what…

Transformative assessment is a classroom assessment aimed at changing both how teachers teach and students learn a lesson. Nowadays, this kind of assessment needs to be practiced to encourage teachers to be creative and flexible when designing their assessments and for students to be reflective and take responsibility for their learning. Hence,…

The aim of this study is to investigate the cognitive process dimension of the revised Bloom's taxonomy in the question preparation of prospective primary school teachers in fourth grade Turkish and mathematics courses. This research is a descriptive study carried out following the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The study…

Background: Utility-value interventions have been shown to promote students' achievement and motivation in mathematics through encouraging them to identify connections between course content and their real lives. To extend the benefits of these interventions, additional research is necessary to test their efficacy in diverse high school contexts,…

Practice-based teacher education has increasingly been adopted as an alternative to more traditional, conceptually-focused pedagogies, yet the field lacks causal evidence regarding the relative efficacy of these approaches. To address this issue, we randomly assigned 185 college students to one of three experimental conditions reflective of common…

The authors describe a lesson--"You Decide"--which challenges students but also provides opportunities for success for those who may struggle. They show how this lesson has been helpful for teachers in revealing some misconceptions that often exist in primary students' thinking. In this article, they share data on the apparent relative…

This article is devoted to the development of an adaptive personalized online course in mathematics for students, which was implemented on the Stepik platform. The authors discuss a non-linear approach to online learning that adapts to the needs of the student as they progress through the course content, which leads to an individual learner's…

The goal of this meta-analysis is to ascertain how online learning has affected Indonesian students' ability to learn mathematics. Descriptive analysis was used to compile info from 41 pieces of information about the research, such as sample size, standard deviation, mean values for the experimental and control groups, and other data. Data…
