The Getting Ready in Numeracy (GRIN) program supports underachieving students by preparing them for upcoming mathematics lessons through small-group tutoring. While prior research suggests positive outcomes, student perspectives remain underexplored. This study thematically analyses responses from 311 GRIN participants (Year levels 1-9) on…

This study explores the specialized knowledge mobilized by a mathematics teacher when implementing an interdisciplinary activity based on the sigmoid function in an 11th grade class. The research aims to identify the mathematical and didactic knowledge elements present during the activity and to detect potential conceptual or pedagogical…

This study aims to describe and examine the effect of GeoGebra-assisted discovery learning on students' mathematical reasoning achievement in 3D geometry lessons. A Quasi-experimental research design with a post-test-only control group was used to conduct this study. This study involved 108 twelfth-grade students from a public senior high school…

The purpose of this study is to form the arithmetic musical competency of students on the basis of Al-Farabi's theoretical musical heritage. In this context, the work "The Great Book of Music" is of great importance. In this work, he gives not only a scientific explanation of the origin of sounds as properties of matter, but also gives…

An international comparative study of mathematics textbooks is essential in identifying trends in international mathematics education, developing textbooks and improving the quality of teaching and learning in mathematics. This study analyses and compares the contents of the probability and statistics curricula in the high school textbooks of…

Creating and developing mathematical models to solve real-world problems is a complex task and students often have difficulties in tackling it successfully. The design and implementation of sequences that help students autonomously develop their ability to solve modelling tasks could be a useful scaffolding tool to foster modelling learning. In…

We consider the following hypothesis: whereas, the institutions in charge of the teaching of mathematics for future professional mathematicians (IPM, in short) share a "didactic paradigm" (strongly based on logical arguments), there does not seem to be such a thing in secondary mathematics education. In this work, we analyse the notion…

The Tchokwe people lived on the African continent, in Mozambique and Angola. The sona belong to their cultural tradition. The sona are drawings made in the sand by older members of the tribe to tell stories, essential in the youngests' formation. In this article, we show a relationship between the sona and the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two…

Felix Klein's notion of "double discontinuity" between university mathematics and secondary school mathematics has persisted in mathematics teacher education. Situating this study in Hong Kong, we investigated three prospective secondary teachers' experiences in higher education and secondary mathematics classrooms, including their…

The current meta-analysis quantifies the average effect of worked examples on mathematics performance from elementary grades to postsecondary settings and to assess what moderates this effect. Though thousands of worked examples studies have been conducted to date, a corresponding meta-analysis has yet to be published. Exclusionary coding was…

This paper reports on concept images of 38 secondary school mathematics prospective teachers, regarding the evenness of numbers. Written assignments, individual interviews, and lesson transcripts uncover salient, erroneous concept images of even numbers as numbers that are two times "something" (i.e., "2i" is an even number),…

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…

The transition from school to university is a challenging process for many students which is reflected in high dropout and low examination success rates during the first year at university. Qualitative studies have found hints that students' beliefs play an important role during the transition. Due to their dialectic nature with cognitive as well…

The use of the algebraic method for solving word problems is a challenging topic for secondary school students. Students' difficulties are usually associated with extracting the problem's network of relationships between quantities and with formalizing these relationships into algebraic language in a problem model. Both sources can coexist and…

This article presents a task providing college students opportunities to build on their high school knowledge of trigonometry to explore parametric equations and inverse trigonometric relationships within a contextual learning ladder problem.
